The inaugural Tennis tournament generated the funds that the HNBA Legal Education Fund used to award the largest amount of Through this event last year, the HNBA and The Fund were able to raise over $23,000.00 that financially supports charitable and

5. 2012 HNBA TENNIS & GOLF TOURNAMENTS
DESIGNED TO BE A GETAWAY: South Florida days in February aren’t too hot, and the
evenings are mild. While 2011 Tournament participants enjoyed a beautiful day, headlines
throughout the country read like this: “An upper level low moved across... during the early
morning hours of February 5th producing a swath of 3 to 6 inches of snowfall.” If you need a
place to stay, don’t worry, the HNBA will set aside a room block at a hotel that provides the
greatest value, and is close to the rest of the Miami action! If you must get some work done
while in town, let us know and we will be happy to accommodate you.
DESIGNED FOR NETWORKING: When was the last time you were at a bar reception
trying to start a good conversation or escape a bad one? Relationships flow naturally among
teammates. We even help you mix it up and get around. We create teams according to player
skill and career path. An ideal team may have at least one judge, law student, in-house coun-
sel and lawyer in private practice – or other combination of distinguished HNBA members.
On the tennis courts, we let you play with nearly every other team as we follow a round robin
format. How many new connections can you make? You tell us at the end of the day.
DESIGNED TO BE INCLUSIVE: We are excited to add golf to the 2012 HNBA Tournament!
We will have a domino tournament and other activities for friends that want to spend a great
day with us, but neither play tennis nor golf. Our Florida Affiliate the Puerto Rican Bar Associa-
tion will be back in 2012, hosting a Wii Tournament. Florida has many great Hispanic and non-
Hispanic bar organizations. Our Tennis & Golf Tournaments were also designed for them – as
an event during which our organizations and members could get to know each other.
DESIGNED TO BE ENJOYED! Relax! After a full day’s work out enjoy our bar and happy
hour camaraderie. Watch the tennis finalists play on the Sony Ericsson Center Court – where
the pros compete. Stay for the awards ceremony, be inspired by our keynote speaker and
enjoy a delicious dinner – before our DJ turns it up! We want you to keep your strength, so
we feed you right throughout the day. No continental breakfasts or boxed lunches here. A
restaurateur caters our event, and serves up buffets with a varied breakfast, a warm lunch
(brunch for golf players) and a full dinner.
DESIGNED WITH A PURPOSE: ¡Muchas Gracias! By supporting our event, you have
helped raised scholarship monies for The HNBA Legal Education Fund, which gives away thou-
sands of scholarship dollars each year for deserving Hispanic youth. How expensive is a legal
education? High enough to be prohibitive for many Hispanic students. In Florida for example,
annual tuition costs alone are generally as follows:
University of Miami Law . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $38,919
Ave Maria Law School . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $35,948

Florida A&M Law School . . $10,312 (Fl. Residents) . . . $29,573 (Non-Residents)
DESIGNED FOR CORPORATE SPONSORS/DONORS: There are many opportunities
for corporations and law firms to partner with the HNBA on the success of this program, in-
cluding sponsorship of the Tennis & Golf Tournaments. If your organization wants to support
the HNBA’s charitable and educational endeavors, such as pipeline programs, it has the op-
tion of making a tax-deductible donation directly to The HNBA Legal Education Fund - which
is an IRS Section 501(c)(3) entity. You will still receive full recognition as a Tournament spon-
sor, and receive the perks applicable to your level of contribution. See sponsorship matrix
attached.
