Thank you for your interest in forming a team for the the Side-Out Foundation 5th Annual Side-Out Grass Doubles Tournament. Teams play an important role in this annual tournament. Last year, we had 200 teams participate on 35 nets. It is through support such as this that the Foundation was able to distribute over $47,000 to various targeted therapy and molecular profiling research centers across the country as well as "living with cancer" organizations.
