Pegula, Azarenka, Raonic & friends help Mark Knowles raise $120,000 at Baha Mar Cup
The fourth edition of the Bahamian charity event celebrated its biggest fundraising success to date.
For the fourth year and third in a row, stars from the WTA and ATP Tours came together at the Baha Mar Cup to help Bahamian legend Mark Knowles give back to his community.
Thanks to time donated by the likes of Jessica Pegula, Milos Raonic, Taylor Townsend, James Blake, Austin Krajicek and Victoria Azarenka, the event achieved its greatest fundraising effort to date after bringing in $120,000 last weekend.
The vision, uniting the Baha Mar Resort Foundation and Mark Knowles Children’s Tennis Initiative, originally came together in 2019 after Hurricane Dorian devastated the Bahamas. In addition to conservation efforts and supporting those in need get back on their feet, the annual charity event has also funded youth tennis programs and improving training facilities.
Among the activities taking place during the sold-out program included a pro-am, exhibition and dinner reception. The event has now surpassed $300,000 in total contirbutions.
