In addition, the Andy Roddick Kid’s Zone has expanded with music, raffles, sumo wrestling, rock climbing, a bounce house, and other popular activities for children thanks to the support of the Pure Energy Entertainment Group.

The pro-celebrity exhibition, starring Andy and his friends begins Sunday at 1:00 pm in the FAU gymnasium with a world team tennis format starring Andy, Jim Courier, Aaron Krickstein, Mardy Fish, Sebastien Grosjean, Chris Evert and Brenda Schultz-McCarthy. The event concludes at 3:30 P.M. with a priceless chance to return Andy’s 149mph serve.

”We are looking forward to an exciting weekend in 2003 as our plans include  additions for fun and growth that will enable us to aid our children’s charities and at the same time, allow us to offer a rain or shine guarantee throughout the weekend” said host, Andy Roddick.
