Andreescu gives back on 23rd birthday with donations to Canadian Red Cross for wildlife relief

Bianca Andreescu celebrated her birthday by making a donation to the Canadian Red Cross.

Canadian tennis player Bianca Andreescu turned 23 years old on June 16, a day after being eliminated from the Libema Open in 's-Hertogenbosch.

On her birthday, Andreescu expressed her gratitude for the greetings she received from her family, friends, and fans, and announced a donation to the Canadian Red Cross.

Amidst the emergency caused by the wildfires affecting Atlantic Canada, the 2019 US Open champion announced that she will be making a donation to support the wildfire relief efforts. These wildfires have forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes and have caused significant destruction in forested areas and properties.

"Thanks to everyone for the kind messages on my birthday. I'll be making a donation to the Canadian Red Cross for the wildfire relief efforts. Please donate if you can!" she wrote on Twitter.

The Romanian-Canadian tennis player will be competing in the WTA 2023 bett1Open Berlin starting on Wednesday, which features eight top-10 players, including defending champion Ons Jabeur. Andreescu has participated in the tournament in 2021 and 2022, reaching the second round on both occasions.
