Xelay Foundation Tennis Initiative
Xelay Foundation is committed to maintaining and improving the health and wellness of our community. Through thoughtful partnerships, we have created an environment wherein the loyal enthusiasts of tennis can grow their game and compete in recreational matches. Additionally, we have developed a merit-based scholarship to support elite collegiate athletes.

SO Cup Invitational
The Songshan Science Elite Open Tour (SO Cup) is an annual invitational tournament established in 2019 that brings together professionals from leading global companies and universities, including Google, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Nvidia, Broadcom, MIT, Stanford, University of California, Tsinghua University, Peking University, and others. The tournament is known for its high level of play, spirited matches, and the camaraderie it builds among participants.
The value of the SO Cup is primarily the networking it enables. Participants have the unique opportunity to build relationships with vice presidents, directors, and senior leaders from Bay Area companies, while also connecting with alumni from top universities worldwide. These interactions often extend well beyond the tournament, fostering meaningful professional and personal connections. At the same time, the SO Cup is also known for its exceptionally high level of tennis, featuring current ATP Tour players alongside current and former Division I collegiate athletes.
Xelay members have been active competitors in the SO Cup for years, enjoying both the challenge on the court and the opportunity to connect with peers. Over the past few years, Xelay’s teams have delivered consistently strong performances, securing the championship title for the last three consecutive years. For Xelay, the SO Cup represents more than tennis. It’s a chance to connect with leaders and innovators, share experiences, and compete at a high level within a global community.
