Reserve Padel’s Inaugural Moonlight Open Aims to Raise $1M for Leukemia Research
On May 16, Miami’s luxury sport scene will merge with a powerful philanthropic mission as Reserve Padel hosts its inaugural Moonlight Open, an event designed to rally community support and raise up to $1 million for leukemia patients at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. Set against the city’s glittering skyline at Reserve Miami Seaplane, the evening promises a dynamic blend of elite sport, heartfelt storytelling, and impactful fundraising, all in tribute to Reserve’s own Charlie Moon.
A Cause Rooted in Courage
The Moonlight Open is more than just a charity tournament—it’s a deeply personal initiative. Charlie Moon, a Reserve team member and five-time cancer survivor, remains at the heart of the event’s inspiration. His journey through diagnosis, treatment, and resilience has galvanized the Reserve community to channel their platform into a force for good.
“Padel has truly saved my life—it’s given me strength, purpose, and community during the hardest battles of my life. Events like the Moonlight Open are more than just charity fundraisers; they’re lifelines.”

Founder Wayne Boich echoed the sentiment with a personal connection of his own, having lost both parents to cancer. "Success means nothing if you don’t use it to lift others," he says, emphasizing that the event is a tribute not just to Moon, but to everyone touched by the disease.
A Star-Studded Lineup on the Court
Kicking off at 4:00 PM, the Moonlight Open will include a pro-am tournament for charity participants (entry: $5,000), followed by a world-class exhibition match at 8:00 PM featuring the sport’s most electrifying talents:
Agustín Tapia and Arturo Coello, the current #1 ranked duo in the world
Ale Galán, ranked #3 globally
Juan Martín Díaz, former world #1 for 14 consecutive years and now Reserve’s Chief Padel Officer
These athletes aren’t just legends on the court—they’re also vocal ambassadors for using sport as a platform for change.
Giving That Goes Beyond the Game
In addition to match play, the evening will feature a charity auction and speeches from key figures, including Moon and Boich. Spectator tickets are available for $150, with all proceeds supporting the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Guests can expect a sophisticated, emotionally resonant evening that includes not only padel action but also a closing celebration under the stars—hence the name Moonlight Open.
The Future of Philanthropic Sport
With the launch of Reserve Cares, the brand’s charitable arm, Reserve Padel has positioned itself as more than just a luxury padel lifestyle company—it’s now a platform for health, hope, and high-impact philanthropy.
Founded in 2023, Reserve has rapidly become a powerhouse in the sport, known for its high-end padel and wellness clubs, court construction expertise, and A-list exhibitions across the U.S. The Reserve Cup already draws elite players and global audiences—and with events like the Moonlight Open, it’s now making waves in the philanthropic space.
At the intersection of sport and social impact, the Moonlight Open is a statement of purpose: that luxury lifestyle can carry real meaning—and that even amid competition, there’s room for compassion.
In the words of Charlie Moon:
“I fight not just for me, but to help others live fuller, more beautiful lives despite cancer.”
