Tennis is uniting for a common cause. The tours and the Grand Slam announced a new initiative to support those impacted by the earthquakes that hit Turkey and Syria.
Through joint press releases, plans for Tennis Plays for Love, a fundraising campaign to support those impacted by the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, were laid out on Tuesday.
The campaign will kick off with a joint donation by the tennis governing bodies that benefits Global Giving’s Turkey and Syria Earthquake Relief Fund, helping provide emergency relief and fuel long-term recovery efforts.
All fans can lend their support by donating via the fund’s official page.
There’s also a NFT tennis art project, which will be auctioned off in support of the campaign. Go to OpenSea to place bids before the auction’s closes this Friday 17 February.
