Blake Helps Raise Funds For Victims of Hurricane Sandyepa03379569 James Blake of the US hits a return to Milos Raonic of Canada during their match on the sixth day of the 2012 US Open Tennis Championship at the USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York, USA, 01 September 2012.

ATP player James Blake, who currently resides (and grew up) in Connecticut , is helping raise money to benefit those affected by Hurricane Sandy.
He’s auctioning off three of his match jerseys featuring his autograph along with those of top American tennis stars Andy Roddick, Mardy Fish and Sam Querrey. 100% of the proceeds will go to the Red Cross.
“Seeing the devastation in areas I grew up around is difficult,” said Blake. “The people of New Jersey , New York and Connecticut are surely resilient, but there’s still room for us all to help. I’ve selected the Red Cross because it does an amazing job on multiple levels; it provides everything from food and blankets to mental health support for those affected.”
