History

Mary Diaz was the director of the Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children in New York City.  She traveled throughout the world, advocating for the rights of refugees.  The second of five children in a tennis family, she was always up for a game with her family and friends wherever she might be. When she lost her life to pancreatic cancer in 2004, her family decided to start a tournament to celebrate her life and to raise money to help find a cure for pancreatic cancer..

The tournament promises to be a weekend of great tennis for a great cause and has raised over $500,000 to fight pancreatic cancer.
