Yonex have revealed a partnership with Nick Kyrgios' NK Foundation to increase access and provide sport facilities to underprivileged and disadvantaged youths.
As a result at the Australian Open, they made a one-of-a-kind bracelet; which is made from recycled strings from players' rackets at this year's event.
“These bracelets are [made] from actual string that players are hitting with in the Open,” said Christos Kyrgios, NK Foundation CEO.
“Yonex is an official partner of Nick’s, so they’ve given these to us. We’re taking any donations – big or small – and all funds will go towards Nick’s foundation help underprivileged and disadvantaged kids around Melbourne and Australia.”
Before the tournament began, they raised A$9,000 at a launch event; they have been selling them during the Australian Open. Click here to find out more information and to buy your limited edition bracelet.
