BNP Paribas Open launches holiday fundraiser

The 2015 BNP Paribas Open is scheduled for March 9-22, 2015, in Indian Wells.

   The BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells has launched its annual holiday fundraising promotion, tournament director Steve Simon announced Monday.
   One dollar for every daily loge and grandstand ticket sold in December will be donated to the National Junior Tennis & Learning Network of the Coachella Valley.

   The NJTL Network -- founded in 1968 by Charlie Pasarell, the late Arthur Ashe and Sheridan Snyder -- is a nonprofit organization benefiting children through recreational tennis programs to promote sportsmanship, self-esteem and fitness.

   Additionally, the BNP Paribas Open donated more than $11,000 to the Eisenhower Schnitzer/Novack Breast Center and the Desert Cancer Foundation during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

   The BNP Paribas Open, the largest ATP World Tour and WTA combined two-week event in the world, is scheduled for March 9-22, 2015, at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. 

   Daily tickets range from $15 for the first Thursday evening session to $105 for loge seats on the final weekend. To purchase tickets, visit bnpparibasopen.com or call (800) 999-1585 or (760) 200-8000.
