Palm Beach, FL, February 18, 2008 —- The 11th Annual Donald J. Trump Pro/Am Tennis Invitational benefiting the Prostate Cancer Foundation is scheduled to take place on February 24th at the prestigious Mar-a-Lago Estate of Mr. Trump in Palm Beach, FL. The Prostate Cancer Foundation holds two tennis events yearly one in Palm Beach, FL, and the other in East Hampton, NY — which collectively have raised over $10 million for the foundation which was founded by Michael Milken in 1989, and is the world’s largest source of philanthropic support for prostate cancer research.

The event has had a host of legendary players such as Chris Evert, Jimmy Connors, Todd Martin, Luke and Murphy Jensen, Mats Wilander, Justin Gimelstob, Vince Spadea, Jimmy Arias, Aaron Krickstein, Bob and Mike Bryan. This year’s event welcomes its new pro’s Anna Kournikova, Wayne Ferreira and Jiri Novak.

This year’s sponsorship partners include: Movado, Thorlo Socks, Vitamin/Smart Water, Yonex, Menaji Men’s Skin Care, Sirius Satellite Radio, Beeceuticals.com, Head Racquet Sports, and many others who share the Prostate Cancer Foundation’s mission to find better treatments and a cure for recurrent prostate cancer.
