The results are in: the 5th Annual Charity Cayman Classic was an all-around slamming success. Sponsored and hosted by The Residences at the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, the tennis weekend included a pro-am celebrity tennis competition, a glamorous ball and a host of family activities to raise money for a local Cayman Islands organization.
The Friday Night Whites Beach Party was first on the agenda, igniting the star-studded weekend event with cocktails and fine food on the acclaimed Seven Mile Beach recognized for its unrivalled beauty. A silent auction also marked the start of the Cayman Classic, which offered bidding opportunities for luxury items, including a Jaguar automobile, artwork and jewelry.
On Saturday, the exciting celebrity pro-am tennis tournament proved to be an entertaining event, featuring renowned players such as Jimmy Arias, Jeffrey Tarango, Murphy Jensen, Gene Mayer, Eddie Dibbs, Brian Gottfried, Petr Korda and Ellis Ferreira. Playing alongside these tennis pros were several surprise celebrities from the world of film and television, including Giuliana DePandi Rancic of E! News, Bill Rancic of The Apprentice and Mary Lynn Rajskub of hit television series 24. Elisabeth Röhm of Law & Order, Jason Biggs of American Pie, Frankie Muniz of Malcolm in the Middle and Alan Thicke of Growing Pains were also seen cheering on the sidelines.
Throughout the weekend, The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman provided endless entertainment options for guests. One of the most anticipated activities of the weekend was the Saturday night's Cayman Classic Tennis Ball. A glamorous and lively occasion, the ball featured an energetic, live hit performance by musician Chris Isaak. Other activities ranged from family tennis clinics by various pros who participated in the Cayman Classic to a nine-hole golf tournament on The Ritz-Carlton's challenging and stunning Blue-Tip golf course designed by Greg Norman and Great White Shark Enterprises.
Perhaps the best part about the 5th Annual Charity Cayman Classic tennis weekend was that it raised money for a great cause. The proceeds totaled more than $70,000 and benefited the non-profit Cayman Islands Crisis Centre, an important part of the local Grand Cayman community that provides shelter and services for victims of domestic abuse. With a solid reputation of excellence and a tradition of supporting and giving back to the Grand Cayman community, it's not surprising that The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman successfully hosted such a spectacular charity event.
