The Chris Evert Pro Celebrity Tennis Classic is a celebrated charity tennis weekend founded in 1989 by tennis legend Chris Evert. Born from Evert's retirement dreams of giving back, the event brings together professional players, celebrities, and passionate fans for a weekend of on-court competition and social galas. Typical stops include the Delray Beach Tennis Center for on-court play and the Boca Raton Resort & Club for the formal gala and related events. The weekend program often features Tennis Pro-Am sessions, high-energy Pro-Celebrity matches, and a Gala Dinner with entertainment, all to benefit Chris Evert Charities and Florida child and drug-abuse programs. The event has a storied history of fundraising, with totals reported in the range of $the best available price–$the best available price million over the years. While pre-COVID editions were last held in 2019, organizers periodically announce schedules and details as calendars are finalized.
