For the very first time, United Tennis is collaborating with the Gastonia Police Department to host the Cinco de Mayo Festival in Downtown Gastonia on Saturday, May 4 from 12pm to 7pm. The Festival objective is to celebrate Mexican and Hispanic culture by remembering an event such as the victory of the Mexican army against the Second French Empire at the battle that took place in Puebla, Mexico. This year, the Festival had the support of 17 sponsors, local businesses from the Gastonia-Charlotte area who wanted to support this event which will be for the first time a fundraiser for United Tennis.
