The 21st annual Desert Smash, the world-renowned celebrity tennis event, is set to take place March 3-4, 2025, at the recently renovated La Quinta Resort & Club. This high-profile charity event, known for bringing together Hollywood stars and professional tennis players, will once again raise funds for a meaningful cause.
This year’s beneficiary is the WTA Foundation’s Global Women’s Health Fund in support of UNICEF, with proceeds helping provide essential prenatal vitamins to women in low- and middle-income countries. The initiative is part of the Women Change the Game campaign, launched with the Gates Foundation, aiming to improve global maternal and child health.
Over the past two decades, Desert Smash has raised millions for charity, with past participants including Charlize Theron, Will Ferrell, Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic, and more. The 2025 lineup already features top tennis stars like Aryna Sabalenka, Nick Kyrgios, Naomi Osaka, Ons Jabeur, Barbora Krejčíkova, Alexander Zverev, and Holger Rune, with more names to be announced.
New for 2025, Desert Smash is partnering with HexClad to introduce the “HexClad Cuisine Court,” offering an all-inclusive gourmet culinary experience for attendees. The event will also feature an elite roster of luxury sponsors, including Maestro Dobel Tequila, Herbalife, HEAD, Mecum Auctions, Thatcher’s Wine, ROAR Organic, and Rivian.
