Rancho Santa Fe, CA, August 30, 2013 --(PR.com)-- The 9th Annual Sean Eduardo Sanchez (SES) fundraising Pro-Am will be held on Saturday, September 7, 2013 beginning at 1:00 p.m., at Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa, located at 5921 Valencia Circle, Rancho Santa Fe, California. Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa most recently made Condé Nast Traveler's 2013 Hot list and was ranked as the #7 resort in the country and #1 resort in California by U.S. News & World Report (2012) and won a 2012 Silver Sage Spa Award from Spa Magazine. Proceeds from the two-day event will provide the children of Tecate, Mexico, with access to free tennis lessons, tennis equipment and cross border tournament transportation while also supporting the efforts of the Empty Cradle, a San Diego non-profit organization that helps parents cope with the loss of an infant before, during or after birth.
There are currently 300 children enrolled in free tennis lessons at the SES Tennis Center, which has grown since inception in 2004 to include four regulation-size tennis courts. SES Tennis Center student and rising youth tennis champion Eugenio Gonzalez has been enrolled in the SES Tennis Center in Tecate, Mexico for four years (beginning at age 7) and is 11 years old. Through free tennis instruction, equipment and tournament transportation provided by the SES Tennis Center, he has risen to the rank of #2 in the 12-and-under category in Mexico and #1 last year in the 10-and-under category in San Diego. According to SES Tennis Center Founder, Eduardo Sanchez, “We’re thrilled with Eugenio’s accomplishments under the guidance of our tennis center---we established this facility to foster both tennis and life skills in underprivileged youth and his success is a living testament to us fulfilling our mission. The annual Pro-Am we host every year at Rancho Valencia is our only source of funding and we’re tremendously grateful to our sponsors and volunteers who make this event possible.”

Shepherd; La Reine des Macarons; Coffee Ambassador; Hanson Surfboards; Schubach Aviation; Wilson Sporting Goods and Andy Volkert.
A highlight of the two-day event is a Sponsor Party on the evening of Friday, September 6, 2013, that will be hosted by John and Sarah Cox at their private residence in Rancho Santa Fe.
