Leylah Fernandez has joined a growing list of players that have established their own foundations as she created the Leylah Annie & Family Foundation.
Fernandez named the foundation after herself and her sister as the two sisters share a close bond and a lot of similar interests like tennis. The foundation, according to Fernandez, aims to provide families and kids with a better life through education and sports. They will offer scholarships for higher education while also assisting students in sports.
She announced it on social media:
"It’s time to announce the Leylah Annie & Family Foundation! My family and I have been working hard, and we’re so excited to launch this project. We started this foundation because we believe access to character-building and life-changing opportunities through education and sports should never be limited. Applications for our scholarship and sports grant for the Fall of 2023 are open! For more information, visit the link in the bio or @leylahanniefoundation."
