Super, great and magnificent effort from Nole. His 5 set defeat in the US Open final didn’t stop the Serb to raise a whopping 1.400.000 at his Foundation Dinner Charity held at Capitale in New York the 12th of September.
Many VIPs attended the foundation. Among them McEnroe, Sarah Ferguson, the model Karklie Kloss
“What we want to do with our Foundation is to help and raise the awareness in Serbia of the pre-school education, and try to enable kids to have access to sport activities, facilities, to better nutrition, better education. This is the first event, so we are all very excited for it,” Novak said. “In partnership with UNICEF, we’re trying to achieve a lot, and to bring happiness and joy to our kids.”
Good stuff.. we like when champions such as Nole, Roger and Rafa use their image to help people around the world.
