USTA HOSTS 11TH ANNUAL OPENING NIGHT GALA - AUGUST 29 AT US OPEN | 
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., August 22, 2011 – USTA Serves, the National Charitable Foundation
of the United States Tennis Association, will host its 11th Annual Opening Night Gala in the
USTA President’s Box at the US Open on August 29, 2011. The evening will feature honored
guests including legendary Grammy and Emmy award winning performer Tony Bennett; Robin
Roberts, co-anchor of ABC’s “Good Morning America,” and future Basketball Hall of Fame
inductee; and Alec Baldwin, the Golden Globe and Emmy-award winning star of NBC’s “30
Rock.” The Opening Night Gala is the major fundraiser for USTA Serves and contributes more
than $400,000 to help fund college scholarships and program grants to community-based
tennis and education programs throughout the country.
USTA Serves has awarded more than $14 million to grassroots tennis and education
programs that enhance the lives of at-risk children and those with special needs. Also, the
foundation has provided more than 18 million hours of mentoring, tutoring and nutrition
guidance to more than 225,000 kids. The success of this one night allows the foundation to
continue supporting programs that increase students’ high school graduation rates, grade
point averages, and reading grade levels. Many of these children become the first in their
families to go to college.
“We’ve seen, time and again, that when you give young people a chance to succeed; they
grab the opportunity and make the most of it,” says Mary Carillo, President, USTA Serves.
“That’s why we support these efforts that provide kids with that chance.” Carillo will host the
Gala’s dinner and the evening’s festivities.
The Gala’s auction will feature many valuable items, including a trip to the 2012 Summer
Olympic Games in London, a luncheon with New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a meet-and-
greet with Alec Baldwin on the set of “30 Rock,” trips to St. Barth’s and Barbados Islands, and
a trip to the 2012 Wimbledon Championships. Baldwin will serve as the celebrity auctioneer.
During the evening’s festivities, USTA Serves also will celebrate Tony Bennett’s 85th birthday
and serve the “Tony Bennett Cupcake” created by Bare Naked Bakery of Long Island.
