The city of Manhattan Beach and the California Beach Volleyball Association took full reins of the legendary Manhattan Beach Open to ensure its 50th birthday. (August 21-22, 2010) Along with the Organizers three sponsors stepped up to ensure the event would take place; Waboba, Nectar Accessories and Twelve and Highland.
