In August 2009, Ardene Bullard died suddenly at the age of 54. Ardene was a fanatic tennis enthusiast, so after her death, the idea of a tennis tournament in her memory was without question. Ardene was a beloved mother and grandmother, and her passion for finding a cure for type 1 diabetes (T1D) grew when her first granddaughter, Mykah, was diagnosed at just 18 months old.

The Of Love tennis tournament brings the Utah tennis and T1D communities together to raise money for T1D and support local researchers, all in the memory of Ardene Bullard, who was passionate about the game of tennis and caring for her granddaughter.

This year, the Of Love tennis tournament will take place from July 30 through August 6. To learn more about registration rules and costs, please visit the official website here.

Of Love will also be hosting a pickleball tournament from July 28 through July 30! Register for this tournament, being held at the Farmington Recreation Center, here.
