The Chad Warren Charity Challenge is organized by Chad's colleagues and friends at the Hollyburn Country Club where he was the High Performance Director for five years. Tennis was a big part of Chad’s life and he met many people in the tennis community as a coach and open level player. The tournament has become an annual event to support Chad's goal of raising $1 million for blood cancer research.

 The 2012 Chad Charity Challenge weekend was a big success - raising over $8000 for Chad's cause: the HRCTU at the UBC/VGH Hospital Foundation.

Players enjoyed at least three matches with some great competitors, many came out for the Saturday night party at the Mosquito Creek Bar & Grill, and we celebrated everyone's success at the players' reception on Saturday night.
