Kicking off the weekend is The Big Serve Youth Tennis Clinic, presented by HEAD Sportswear. This special event will offer 400 children a day filled with tennis, mentorship, and inspiration, fostering their growth both on and off the court. It aims to introduce children to the sport of tennis while also teaching essential life skills such as teamwork, discipline and perseverance.
Then the DJ is setting sail this year, hosting the kickoff dinner aboard the brand-new Sun Princess cruise ship. The On Deck with Love & Light dinner offers cocktails, philanthropy and a live performance by The Chainsmokers.

Guests can keep the party going at the Irie Weekend Friday Night party hosted at LIV Miami, which features a special performance by Gunna.
