2009 Hopes & Dreams Racquetball Tournament

2009 Hopes & Dreams Racquetball Tournament - October 15-18, 2009 - Formally known as the "Slaying the Beast" Tournament This tournament was a fundraiser to help raise money for Cancer Research in HOPES of finding a cure and to help fulfill DREAMS for those where research is too late. Warren Bailey and Michelle Bruchhauser are the driving force behind this event which usually draws the most participants of any of the Anchorage Racquetball tournaments. This was the second tournament of the Alaska Racquetball Season and as such some players were still a little rusty while others were shedding their rust, Sunji Spencer of Fairbanks was once again in the Men's Open Finals where he defeated (1) Jesse Keaveny in a 11-10 tiebreaker proving his win last month in the season opener was no fluke. In the Men's Open Doubles (1) Brandon Cuaresma & Jesse Keaveny took the win over Robert Bailey & Nick Hand. A BIG Thank You to all the sponsors who donated items and Cash for the Silent auction plenty of funds were raised for this very needy cause.
