International Tennis Hall of Fame Legends Ball

The Legends Ball presented by BNP Paribas is an annual celebration of tennis excellence, bringing together the sport’s legends and dedicated supporters in a special evening to benefit the International Tennis Hall of Fame, located in Newport, Rhode Island. Expected attendees at the Legends Ball include Hall of Famers Stan Smith, Kim Clijsters, and Gigi Fernandez, among many others tennis greats.

Proceeds raised during the event will benefit the ITHF’s mission to preserve tennis history in the museum collection, celebrate its greatest champions through on-site and digital storytelling, and inspire the next generation through community outreach and education programs.

Hosted by Master of Ceremonies Bill Whitaker of CBS’ 60 Minutes, Legends Ball will feature special musical performances by Grammy-nominated and Billboard-award winning artist Rick Astley and multi-platinum singer, songwriter and Broadway standout Debbie Gibson. Astley and Gibson were frequent performers on RWQuarantunes throughout the pandemic, and will take the stage alongside Wertheim and the Weitzs as the Eugene L. Scott Award and Joseph F. Cullman Award recipients during the evening.
