ATP Stars Help Raise Funds For London Hospital
ATP Stars Help Raise Funds For London Hospital
The world’s top men’s singles players and doubles teams, including Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Bob and Mike Bryan, gathered on Saturday evening at the official Barclays ATP World Tour Finals Gala, at The Royal Courts of Justice in London. The event, supported by Moët & Chandon, raised more than £400,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.
The Gala officially launched the 2012 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals – the year-end climax to the men’s professional tennis season, to be played November 5-12 at The O2 – and raised vital funds for the new respiratory ward at Great Ormond Street Hospital .
The world’s best players personally supported the night by joining Moët & Chandon’s philanthropic ‘Toast for a Cause’ initiative, raising a mini Moët as they walked the red carpet. Moët & Chandon in turn made a donation for each participating player directly to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity. Players helped raise an additional £22,500 on the night by offering three lucky guests the chance to join them on stage for a once-in-a-lifetime group photo.
An exclusive auction was held on the night, with lots including a rare gold-leaf Methuselah of Moët & Chandon signed by the world’s top tennis players. Other highly prized auction items included: VIP tickets to the 2013 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals at The O2, a unique Hamilton & Inches pendant inspired by Disney•Pixar’s Brave and a NISSAN VIP experience at the Dubai 24 Hour Race.
