San Diego County’s only Professional Tennis Tournament!
The 2020 Shoebacca Women’s Open tennis tournament is a 7-day tennis event to be held in Rancho Santa Fe,
California February 24-March 1, 2020 and will be one of the top events on the USTA Pro Circuit. Players from
last year’s tournament are playing in this year’s main draw of the US Open and other USTA tennis events.

Women athletes from more than 64 countries have competed in W25 USTA Competitive Pathway events. Top
women tennis stars like Maria Sharapova, Sloane Stephens, Genie Bouchard, Madison Keyes and Naomi
Osaka, Bianca Andreescu all have played in these events.

Now is the time to partner with this region’s only women’s professional tennis tournament. The celebration
begins with you, our valued sponsor, as we host professional athletes for a one-of-a-kind competitive tennis and
entertainment event. As indicated by previous attendance, we expect that more than 3,000 affluent tennis fans
will come to this week long event.

Our event will be held at Morgan Run Club & Resort, a premier private club, boutique resort, and conference
center located in one of San Diego's most affluent communities, Rancho Santa Fe. Set amid majestic hills and
perfect weather, this prestigious area, and its surrounding community, is heralded as an exclusive spot for travel
and recreation. Located just four miles from the Pacific Ocean and thirty minutes from downtown San Diego,
Morgan Run is easily accessible from I-5, I-805, and I-15, making it the perfect location to attract an audience
from areas to the North and South. Become a partner in this tournament and together we will provide the
community with an outstanding event that can be enjoyed by all ages.

Shoebacca – Our Title Sponsor
__________________________________________________________________

Shoebacca will be the 2020 and 2021 title sponsor for the Women’s Open Tennis Tournament.

About Shoebacca (from Shoebacca.com ):

SHOEBACCA.com got its very humble beginnings when two community-minded brothers named Marc and
Robert Schlachter started selling used name-brand athletic shoes to underprivileged families at local
neighborhood markets. Along with those early grass-roots efforts, they also shipped truckloads of shoes to
areas all over the world, primarily to third-world countries where the need was greatest. This became the
inspiration for SHOEBACCA.com, and helped set the tone for this new business and outreach program.
Officially formed in 2002, SHOEBACCA.com identified an opportunity to extend its reach by establishing itself
as a reseller on eBay. After a number of successful years operating on eBay's platform, SHOEBACCA.com
launched a full-scale retail website in the spring of 2007. Through word of mouth, SHOEBACCA.com quickly
became a leader in the online footwear retail market, offering thousands of styles by many of the world's best
shoe brands at competitive prices. Attention was immediately placed on growth through proper placement,
innovative technologies, competitive shipping processes, and professional customer service. SHOEBACCA.com
is located in Irving, Texas with its home office and adjacent 250,000 square-foot warehouse. At any given time,
there are as many as 25,000 styles of shoes, accessories, and athletic gear housed within the Irving facility.
