Celebrities turned out in force to show their support at the USTA Foundation Gala, which marked the opening night of the 2018 US Open. Co-hosted by Billie Jean King and TV personality Michael Greenberg, the star-studded event at Arthur Ashe Stadium raised more than $1.5 million for tennis and education.

At the gala, a VIP auction featuring admission to any concert anywhere in the US by country singer Luke Bryan raised an additional $55,000. The Foundation also presented Pam Shriver, former pro tennis player, with a surprise award for leadership and advocacy.
