"A Match for Mental Health" Tennis Event July 6, 2011

Come to an exciting evening of food, drinks, good company, and a great tennis match between the St. Louis Aces and the Sacramento Capitals. Working together to raise awareness of adolescent depression and suicide, CHADS Coalition for Mental Health and the St. Louis Aces host the first ever “A Match for Mental Health” tennis event on Wednesday, July 6 at the Dwight Davis Tennis Center in Forest Park. The event will kick off at 5:30 p.m. with a catered cocktail party, followed by the match at 7:15 p.m. at the St. Louis Aces beautiful home court.

The Aces’ nontraditional touch involving instant replays, a co-ed format, enthused fans, constant cheering, body paint, and a music DJ combine to provide you with a match that brings a new level of excitement to tennis. You don’t have to wait for a break in the action to get up for a drink or snack, and fans are encouraged to cheer during points. Additionally, the highly-successful tennis pro Lindsay Davenport’s mean backhands and overhead smashes are sure to keep you on your feet.

“A Match for Mental Health” is unique in that it provides high-quality entertainment while supporting a great cause. All money raised will go toward the mission of CHADS Coalition for Mental Health—to advance the knowledge and prevention of adolescent depression and suicide through awareness, education, family support, and research. Tickets are $50 and are on sale now.
