DELRAY BEACH, FL (Dec. 4, 2005) - Tennis legend Chris Evert teamed with her good friend former President George H.W. Bush to outlast recording star Michael W. Smith and world No. 1 Lindsay Davenport 6-4 in the highlight match at the Chris Evert/Bank of America Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic on Sunday at the Delray Beach Tennis Center.

Former President Bush was among the many celebrities and tennis stars who helped Evert raise a record-tying $1.2
million to fight drug abuse in South Florida.

The event, which is held in association with the Chris Evert Children's
Hospital at Broward General Medical Center, has raised more than $14.2
million in 16 years. Chris Evert Charities partners with the Ounce of
Prevention Fund of Florida to support innovative and preemptive drug abuse
programs.

"I'm so happy with this year's event," Evert said. "It is amazing to raise
this much money for the second year in a row. This will help support
programs that give people a second chance and most importantly, give them
hope."

Bush was the crowd favorite as the agile 81-year-old battled at the net with
Davenport, with the former President winning both of those showdowns. At
other times, Evert joked that she was covering her three-fourths of the
court as Bush let her chase down the opponents' lobs and drop shots. "It's
hard work being your partner," said Evert. Chair umpire Bud Collins
responded, "the Secretary of State never complained."

Evert closed out the day teaming with actor Scott Foley for a 6-4 win over
Luke Jensen and Jon Lovitz of "Saturday Night Live" fame. "Dual-hand Luke"
served both left and right-handed during a win earlier in the day when he
and Justin Gimelstob downed Murphy Jensen and Nicole Vaidisova 6-4.

Stone Phillips, anchor of "NBC Dateline," and Gimelstob were too strong for
Smith and Luke Jensen in a match that featured two of the event's best
celebrity players. Phillips and Gimelstob paired up for the 6-5 (5) win.

Supermodel Frederique and French tennis star Sebastien Grosjean opened the
day with a 6-4 win over ATP star Vince Spadea and actress Maeve Quinlan.

In addition to the tennis events, the celebrities were out in force on
Saturday night for Evert's annual black tie gala at the Boca Raton Resort &
Club. Prior to a high-energy show by Canadian music superstar Corey Hart, a
live auction raised more than $280,000 of the weekend's total.

The top item in the live auction was dinner for six at Evert's home with
husband and co-host Andy Mill serving up a barbeque dinner. Two dinner
packages were sold at $50,000 each.

Evert made a bid for more than an auction item at Saturday's gala, she is
making a run for most popular mom in Boca Raton. Evert bought a lunch with
tennis star Anna Kournikova for $10,000 for her three sons, which earned her
a high five from her kids during Saturday evening's gala. Other top items
included a private jet for $15,000, a lunch with Donald Trump for $11,500
and a tour of fashion week with Frederique for $7,500.

Event highlights will be televised on ESPN2 on January 27 at 12:30 a.m. EST
(9:30 p.m. PST on Jan. 26).
