The Peachtree City Tennis Center has hosted a professional tournament for the last five years. For the last three years, the Tennis Center has used ticket sales from the tournament to benefit local charities. This year, the Fifth Annual Peachtree National Bank Women's Pro Challenge will benefit the David Harris Jr. Foundation.

The David Harris Jr. Foundation helps Fayette County families that are battling Leukemia and Cancer. Virgil Christian, director of the Tennis Center, has known the Harris family for a while, as well as others that were involved with the foundation. "We like to help local charities each year and the Harris Foundation does a lot of good for the community," said Christian. "This will be a good thing for everybody involved."

The tournament is set to run from July 19-25. All ticket proceeds during the seven day event will go to the foundation. The tournament has had some of the world's top women tennis players in the past and this year should be no different. The Tennis Center has always drawn large crowds for the tournament but hope to draw their largest crowd yet, this summer.
