Countdown to the 2007 ISIS Bone Growth Foundation Tennis Challenge The countdown is well and truly on to this year’s ISIS Bone Growth Foundation Tennis Challenge, to be held on Thursday 13 December 2007. A unique event held at Vodafone Arena, the evening will feature fine dining and entertainment positioned on the perimeter of an arena-level tennis court.

This year’s event will boast a celebrity line-up, as we celebrate the "Ultimate ‘80s", beaming you and your guests back to the era when shoulder pads were huge, leg warmers were high fashion and hours were spent unravelling the mystery of the Rubik’s Cube! It promises to be an ace night, so make sure you join the centre court action by taking up a 'Corporate Sponsorship Package' or 'Table Booking'.

Continuing a proud tradition of community support Thanks to a record number of event sponsors and the generosity of patrons at the ISIS Bone Growth Foundation Tennis Challenge, ISIS has again raised significant funds for this most important cause.
Held at Melbourne’s Vodafone Arena on December 15, with tables set only metres from the centre court stage, Australian singing sensation Jon Stevens kicked off proceedings with a superb acoustic set. Some serious and not so serious tennis action followed with a host of sporting and other celebrities participating. Part of the proceeds raised this year will fund a research grant to Professor John Bateman at the Children’s Research Institute in Melbourne. This grant will be used to conduct research work into cartilage degeneration in Osteoarthritis.
