Proceeds from the Soiree and round-robin doubles tournament will benefit children with cancer treated at Harbor UCLA Medical Center. Last year, donations of 150 “Jester Has Lost His Jingle” books and 150 Jester & Pharley Dolls from tournament proceeds brought smiles and laughter to young patients. “The Jester” was written and illustrated by South Bay resident David Saltzman as his senior project at Yale before his death from cancer in 1990. His wish was that his uplifting, whimsical book be shared with children with cancer.Entry forms may be printed out from www.thejester.org. Reservations for the soiree may be made at 310-544-4733.
