INDIAN WELLS, CALIFORNIA: BNP PARIBAS TENNIS OPEN - OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH, BUY TENNIS TICKETS AND DONATIONS WILL BE MADE TO LOCAL CHARITIES |

BNP PARIBAS OPEN TO DONATE ONE DOLLAR FROM EVERY TICKET SOLD IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER TO A LOCAL NON-PROFIT CANCER ORGANIZATION AS PART OF BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

INDIAN WELLS, Calif., October 1, 2015 – The BNP Paribas Open, to be held March 7-20, 2016 at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, will donate $1 from every ticket sold in the month of October to a local non-profit cancer organization, it was announced today by Steve Simon, tournament director.

Last year the tournament donated more than $11,000 from its October ticket sales, as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, to the Eisenhower Schnitzer/Novack Breast Center and the Desert Cancer Foundation.

The Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center is a remarkable cancer treatment facility that offers patients unrivaled medical care and comprehensive cancer services, including treatment for prostate cancer and breast cancer, while the Desert Cancer Foundation’s cancer screening program provides services to residents of the Coachella Valley who are uninsured and have a financial need.

“The BNP Paribas Open is proud to contribute to the fight against breast cancer,” said Simon. “Breast cancer has affected so many people, as well as many within the world of tennis, and this is a way that we can raise awareness and contribute to battle against this disease.”

Mini, Group and Hotel ticket packages for the 2016 BNP Paribas Open are now available for purchase. To reserve a ticket today, fans can visit www.bnpparibasopen.com, call 800-999-1585 or visit the Indian Wells Tennis Garden Box Office at 78-200 Miles Avenue, Indian Wells, CA, 92210.
