The weekend’s events included a Pro-Am and Charity Gala at the Boca Raton Resort and Club, where the legendary Bee Gee Barry Gibb, whose musical family will be biopic’ed by the Bohemian Rhapsody folks, performed to a sold-out crowd. The two days of tennis at the Delray Beach Tennis Center featured celebrities including Carson Kressley, Jon Lovitz, Gavin Rossdale, Kevin McKidd, Scott Foley, Tate Donovan, Shawn Hatosy, Helio Castroneves, Seal and David Cook.

The monies raised go toward programs that are funded through the Ounce of Prevention Fund of Florida and through the Drug Abuse Foundation of Palm Beach County. “This was one of the most exciting events in our 30-year history,” said Evert. “Having Barry Gibb play at the Gala was a dream come true and really helped us reach our fundraising goal for this year!”

Cuba Gooding Jr. is living his best life in Miami lately, seen Saturday with friends at Ball & Chain where he took a page out of Jamie Foxx’s playbook (or maybe it was more from his musician dad Cuba Gooding Sr.’s book) and jumped on stage to do a song with the band.  He chose the Cuban bolero cha cha song “Dos Gardenias,” danced salsa and hung out before heading over to Los Altos.
