This event is a fun 5K run/walk & 10K run benefiting cancer patients in Brevard County. More than 200 runners from around the community joined us in our inaugural event last year to raise more than $12,000 and we're hoping to expand even more this year.

Tennis Tournament
The 2010 MIMA Foundation/USTA Pro Tennis Classic is coming! It will be held May 2-9, 2010 at Kiwi Tennis Club in Indian Harbour Beach. For the 5th year, MIMA Foundation and Kiwi Tennis Club are hosts to this premier professional tennis tournament. All proceeds of the tournament will benefit the MIMA Foundation. The weeklong event will feature women's professional tennis including singles and doubles matches.
Thousands of tennis enthusiasts attended the MIMA Foundation's pro tennis event in 2009, which raised $100,000 for the MIMA Foundation.
The event is free to the public Sunday, May 2 through Thursday, May 6. Tickets may be purchased for Quarterfinals, Semifinals and Finals matches taking place May 7th - 9th. The USTA Pro Circuit was launched over 30 years ago and is America's gateway to tennis stardom, providing players an opportunity to gain professional ranking points needed to compete on the major tours.
The MIMA Foundation/USTA Tennis Classic is an opportunity for fans to experience the excitement and intensity of professional tennis right here in Brevard County. Players ranked as high as No. 25, who are regulars at the WTA Tour events and are among top contenders at Grand Slam tournaments, often play in USTA Pro Circuit tournaments. Alumni include: Maria Sharapova, Lindsay Davenport, Anna Kournikova, Mary Pierce and many more.
Along with great tennis, the Pro Circuit players will be active in community outreach. They will participate in local school visits to serve as role models and provide motivation for children throughout the county; and will host a free Kid's Day Clinic at Kiwi Tennis Club to promote tennis in Brevard. It's a great opportunity to have a positive impact on our local talent and youth.
