January 09 2015 - 7:30AM
Ebix, Inc. (Nasdaq:EBIX), a leading international supplier of
On-Demand software and E-commerce services to the insurance,
financial and healthcare industries, today announced that the
annual
Ebix Charity Challenge, will be held in
Greensboro, North Carolina on February 7, 2015. All proceeds from
the 5th Annual Ebix Charity Challenge will benefit the
UNC
Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, where America No.
1 John Isner's mother, Karen, was successfully treated during her
two battles with colon cancer.
Joining Isner will be the ATP World No. 1 Doubles team of
Bob and Mike Bryan. The Bryan Brothers are coming
off a historic 2014 season after finishing No. 1 in the year end
rankings for the 10th time in their careers. The Bryans won 10
tournaments this past season, including the US Open, ATP World Tour
Finals and six ATP Masters 1000 titles. The twins further
solidified their place as the greatest doubles team in tennis
history after winning their 16th career Grand Slam title and
groundbreaking 100th career team title at the 2014 US Open.
Wayne Bryan, the father and former coach of the
Bryan Brothers, will serve as the event emcee.
The event will kick-off with an exclusive youth clinic at
Piedmont Indoor Tennis Center, giving kids the once-in-a-lifetime
chance to play and learn from Isner and the Bryan Brothers.
Following the clinic, a tennis exhibition will be held at Fleming
Gymnasium on the University of North Carolina at Greensboro
campus.
John Isner said, "I am really looking forward to bringing the
Ebix Charity Challenge back to my hometown of Greensboro. Our last
challenge was our best event yet and I hope we can build upon last
year's success. I am also thrilled Bob and Mike will join me in
Greensboro. I hope we can put on a great show for everyone and
raise money for UNC Lineberger, which is a cause very close to my
heart."
Robin Raina, Chairman and CEO of Ebix said, "Ebix is excited to
support John's 5th Annual Ebix Charity Challenge. As our brand
ambassador, we are proud of John's continued passion to fight
cancer by raising funds for cancer research at UNC Lineberger
Cancer Center."
UNC Lineberger was nominated by Isner and is one of nine
charities around the world to receive a 2014 ATP Aces for Charity
grant. Donations can be made online at

Isner is kicking off his 2015 season representing the United
States at the Hopman Cup, an international mixed team event in
Perth, Australia. Isner and partner Serena Williams advanced to
Saturday's championship match on Thursday with a 3-0 sweep of the
Czech Republic. Currently ranked no. 18, Isner had a solid 2014
season after compiling 39 match wins and capturing his eighth and
ninth career ATP World Tour singles titles in Auckland and Atlanta
respectively. His Atlanta title run propelled Isner to his second
straight Runner-Up finish in the prestigious Emirates Airline US
Open Series. Isner's career accolades also include reaching the
Quarterfinals of the 2012 London Olympics, leading the U.S. to the
2012 Davis Cup Semifinals and winning the longest match in tennis
history 70-68 in the fifth set over Nicholas Mahut at Wimbledon in
2010.
