One week from today, the third annual CRC Memorial Tennis Tournament will begin at Jerry Cline Tennis Center in Albuquerque. If you are planning to play, volunteer, sponsor, attend or support the event, this is your practical one-week guide.
WHEN: Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. WHERE: Jerry Cline Tennis Center, 7001 Constitution Ave NE, Albuquerque, New Mexico. WHY: the tournament raises funds for Breaking the Silence New Mexico and uses sport as a platform for community connection, mental-health education and remembrance.
PLAYERS: Register through the tournament’s USTA page linked from ServeItUpForLife.net. Do not wait until the final hours. Complete your registration, confirm your partner or division information as required, and send the link to at least one other player.
SPONSORSHIP: Opportunities currently range from $250 to $10,000. Contact the tournament team immediately regarding benefits that can still be fulfilled within the remaining production window. Digital recognition and event-day acknowledgment may remain possible even when some print deadlines have passed.
VOLUNTEERS: Event support can include check-in, setup, player assistance, sponsor hospitality, photography, video, social media and other operational roles. The volunteer page emphasizes that even two hours can help.
DONORS: You can support the mission whether or not you attend. The fundraising campaign benefits BTSNM’s education and youth programs, including the Youth Advisory Group and scholarships highlighted in the 2026 campaign.
ATTENDEES AND SUPPORTERS: Follow Serve It Up for Life throughout the week for timing and event-day updates. Share official posts rather than creating conflicting information. If you are bringing friends or family, send them the venue and event schedule in advance.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: Invite someone personally. The final week is when people decide whether an event is “something I heard about” or “something I am going to.” A direct text—“I’m doing this next Saturday; come with me”—can be more effective than another general announcement.
The countdown is now measured in days, not weeks. Albuquerque, this is the moment to choose how you will serve.
