“To Help Children Today For Tomorrow – what does this mean?” Andy asked his guests in his speech at his Austin dinner gala which featured Sir Elton John. “It means we want to assist in changing the future for kids. We want to affect the course of their lives in a positive way. We want to afford opportunities to children who are not fortunate enough to be born with them.”
On Saturday, December 8th and Sunday, 9th, the Andy Roddick Foundation will continue in assisting changing children’s futures with the 7th Annual Andy Roddick Charity Weekend.
On Saturday evening, join Andy and his friends at Broken Sound Country Club for the foundation’s Dinner Gala, which includes both live and silent auctions as well as dancing and entertainment provided by MSE Events & Pure Energy Entertainment Group.
On Sunday at Boca Pointe Country Club, Andy’s admission-free signature Kid’s Zone will start at 11:30 am followed by the Celebrity Tennis Exhibition featuring Andy, his Davis Cup compatriot James Blake, and two-time Grand Slam Champion Maria Sharapova. After the matches, you will have the opportunity to return three of Andy’s record-setting serves for $100. If seeing these players isn’t enough, then this is your lucky day as autograph opportunities will be taking place throughout the events.
The cost of the dinner gala is $250 a person. The tennis exhibition is priced as follows: Courtside tickets are $150 each; VIP Canopy tickets are $150 each; VIP tickets are $100 each; Reserved and General Admission seating is sold-out.
