🎾 PLAY FOR MORE THAN THE SCORE 🎾
What started as a conversation between two friends on the tennis courts has grown into a Northwest Arkansas tradition that has raised nearly $16 million to support local families facing cancer.
In 1987, Sam Walton and Paul Pautsch imagined a tennis tournament that could make a difference in the lives of cancer patients right here in our community. Nearly 40 years later, that vision continues through the Cancer Challenge Tennis Tournament.
💛 Join us for a weekend of tennis, community, and impact.
Why players love Cancer Challenge:
✔️ Competitive play for all NTRP levels
✔️ Convenient scheduled match times
✔️ Most players are on the court for only about two hours
✔️ A chance to give back without committing an entire weekend
🎾 NEW THIS YEAR! We're excited to introduce a Junior Tennis Camp on Thursday, June 18, helping inspire the next generation of players while supporting a great cause.
Cancer Challenge is about more than tennis. It's about neighbors helping neighbors, friends supporting friends, and a community coming together to care for its own.
⏰ Registration is closing soon! Don't miss your chance to be part of this incredible tradition.
