Hagan Cup History


The Hagan Cup was established  in 2013  to help raise additional funds for the charities that Roswell Rotary Club supports in North Fulton County. Rotarian Theo Keyserling came up with the idea of a tennis tournament to support our golf tournament and approached then president Jacque Digieso who along with the board supported the idea. Roswell Rotary thought there would not be a better way to honor long time Rotarian and district governor Bob Hagan than to call the tourney the Hagan Cup Classic . As Bob was an active tennis player and community activist for year,. it was a natural fit . Theo approached many local businesses for seed money and was able to raise $25k to start the tournament . A large tennis trophy (the current Hagan Cup in the above picture) was created and taken around to local businesses and even Roswell City Hall as they were fundraising.  All even  enjoyed a sip of Haganade-a special cocktail with District Governor  Hagan's favorite spirits and it was a wonderful aide for raising funds .Note: Haganade is still enjoyed today at many Roswell Rotary events! The Hagan Cup Classic honors Bob Hagan's service to the community and his deep commitment to Rotary's motto of Service Above Self. The tournament has expanded to two sessions, both morning and afternoon, and continues to raise over $50k annually with over 75 players.
