Dr. Phil, Tennis Stars Hold Houston Event For Tsunami Victims

Tennis Exhibition To Take Place Monday In Toyota Center

UPDATED: 2:12 pm CST January 26, 2005

TV talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw will join several of the world's greatest tennis players Monday to help raise money for the tsunami victims in south Asia.

The one-night tennis exhibition, called "Serving For Tsunami Relief," will begin at 7 p.m. at the Toyota Center, in downtown Houston.

Tennis legends John McEnroe, Anna Kournikova, Jim Courier, Andy Roddick and Chris Evert will also participate.

"When I was asked to be a part of the Serving For Tsunami Relief event, I jumped at the opportunity," Dr. Phil said. "To assist in drawing addition attention to the tsunami disaster and raise funds for such a worthy cause is a privilege. Over the past few weeks, we have all seen the devastation caused by this tragic event and to be able to contribute to the effort to help those affected in some small way is certainly worth doing."

The money raised will go the Bush-Clinton Fund, which has been set up to provide relief, reconstruction and rehabilitation for the victims of the disaster.

Tickets for Serving For Tsunami Relief are for sale at the Toyota Center box office, by phone at (866) 4-HOUTIX or online at www.toyotacentertix.com.
