This year’s Celebrity Golf and Tennis Classic is sure to be a hit—and a big boost to Alta Bates Summit’s fight against breast cancer.

Since its inception in 1992, the Celebrity Classic has raised more than $2 million to benefit vital hospital services, according to Steve Lundin, Foundation President and CEO. “The enormous success of the event is due to its being unique in the area and serving such a great cause,” says Lundin. “The community and hospital are working hand in hand.”

You can still get tickets for the September 20th tennis tournament, regarded as the country’s No. 1 celebrity tennis tournament. Join a capacity crowd of 1,000-plus at the Berkeley Tennis Club to view legends Virginia Wade and Tracy Austin, court wizard Vic Braden, and 30 other celebrity headliners. (Past tourneys featured all-time greats Rod Laver, Stan Smith and Roy Emerson and celebrities Kristi Yamaguchi and Rick Barry.) The star-studded gala dinner at the Claremont Resort and Spa tops off the occasion.

FYI: Our September 8th golf tourney at the Diablo Country Club, a perennial sellout, included a round of golf, lunch, and the gala dinner. (Past years’ celebrities included Bobby Bonds and Vida Blue.)
