In past years the event has featured tennis legends and standouts Martina Navratilova, John McEnroe, Anna Kournikova, Jim Courier, Jana Novotna, Lindsay Davenport; former President George H.W. Bush; actors Billy Crystal, Elisabeth Shue, Matthew Perry, Jeffrey Donovan, Chevy Chase; musicians Gavin Rossdale and David Cook and other greats from the worlds of tennis and entertainment.

The annual Chris Evert Pro-Celebrity Gala will feature an evening of music, silent and live auctions and dinner and dancing at the renowned Boca Raton Resort and Club.  Past featured entertainers have included Natalie Cole, Gloria Estefan, Kenny Loggins, Kool and the Gang, The Commodores and Gladys Knight.

Tickets for the tennis action and the Gala dinner are available through Chris Evert Charities at 561-394-2400 or www.chrisevert.org.
