19th Annual Bud Light Charity Tennis Tournament returns Oct. 16-17

Pensacola Sports and The Lewis Bear Company are inviting tennis players to compete in the 19th annual Bud Light Charity Challenge Tennis Tournament, taking place October 16–17 at Roger Scott Tennis Center. The two-day event pairs competitive play with food, drinks, a silent auction, and courtside entertainment, with all registration fees supporting Arc Gateway and Pensacola Sports.

Over the past decade, the tournament has raised more than $115,000 for Arc Gateway, which provides programs and services for more than 1,200 children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. "The Bud Light Charity Challenge is more than a tournament — it's a celebration of our community," said Jason Libbert, President and CEO of Pensacola Sports. "It brings people together from every corner of our city for a weekend that's full of energy and purpose."

Advanced registration is $80 per player, with tournament-week registration at $90. Spectators can attend free, though food and beverage passes are available at Friday check-in for $15 (one day) or $25 (both days). Family, friends, and tennis fans are welcome to watch the matches. More details and registration are available at PensacolaSports.org/bud-light-charity-challenge. Pensacola Sports is also seeking volunteers for the event.
