Elton John will join tennis superstar Andy Roddick at the third annual Andy Roddick Foundation Charity Gala on October 14, 2007 at the Hilton Austin.

“I am ecstatic that Elton will be performing again in October, he is a musical genius and true philanthropist,” Andy Roddick said. “His first concert for our charity gala in 2005 was remarkable. We are all thrilled to have him back in Austin for such a worthy cause.”

Andy Roddick will host the evening’s festivities that will include an auction, dinner and an intimate concert with Elton John. Seating will be for 700 at the elegant, four-star Hilton Austin. Executive Chef Mark Dayanandan, winner of this year’s Diamond Chef Award, will be creating a special dinner for the Gala.
