The night not only raised $635 for the Pink Up Parkes campaign for the McGrath Foundation, but it also attracted a good roll-up of eager tennis players, supporters and spectators.
There was plenty of action on the courts, including competitions, games and socialising - this included the speed serving challenge, guessing competitions and a parent'n'child red ball comp.
Among the highlights on the night was the very popular Dash 4 Cash event that saw all ages take part.
By the end Ben Evans and dad Peter Evans had tied with Phoebe Potts and Wendy Rix on $16, which took them into a play-off.
Ben and Peter were the eventual Dash 4 Cash winners.
There was also an exhibition match between Parkes' nationally ranked players Jake Magill and Ben Evans, which featured the tennis club's ATP Cup ballkid squad.
The evening ended with the cutting and serving of a special Pink Up Parkes chocolate cake.
The Pink Up Parkes campaign has been running since October 1 and lasts the entire month, all to raise money and awareness for the McGrath Foundation and to help fund more Breast Care Nurses.
