EVENT HISTORY

A group of Windward tennis ladies began this event as a tennis tournament 7 years ago in memory of Kathleen Dyer, an avid Windward tennis player that lost her life to brain cancer within 3 weeks of being diagnosed. Three years ago we expanded the tennis tournament to include the whole Windward community by adding a silent auction/wine tasting at the Golf Club of Georgia. With a sellout audience last year this year we’ve changed locations to the Metropolitan Club so we can expand our event. Because of the participation of the Windward community and local businesses, we were able to raise $90,000 over the last two years for the Alpharetta branch of the American Cancer Society. We are excited about having the support of the whole community to get behind a cause that has affected each and every one of us.

Want to attend a really cool event? Windward for a Cure is holding it's fourth annual "A Taste & A Toast." At the door you will receive a special collectible wine glass to let tasting begin. There will be fabulous silent and live auction items. It is a night you won't want to miss! So bring your friends for some fun music and great food. The party starts a 7pm at the The Metropolitan Club. Help raise money for the American Cancer Society. See you there! Tickets can be purchased on line at Windwardforacure.org.
