Felix Auger-Aliassime is spending his off-season visiting Togo, the country of his father Sam. The Canadian has been giving $5 for each point he makes since 2020 in an effort to support children’s protection and education in the nation of his father.
How much money was raised
The 2022 ATP Finals rookie has also teamed up with longtime tennis sponsor BNP Paribas, who will match his donation with $15 per point. The sixth-ranked player in the world has accumulated 6613 points this year, bringing his total to 16,486.
How will the money be spent
The funds raised will support the development of educational support groups, school supplies, instructional and sporting equipment, and vocational training for kids as part of the CARE International’s EduChange program. The project will benefit more than 2500 children, 60% of whom are girls.
