American tennis star
Coco Gauff has donated $1000 to compatriot
Madison Keys' Kindness Wins Foundation as they aim to raise $10,000 to renovate tennis courts.
Kindness Wins is a nonprofit organization started by Keys in 2020 and they were raising funds on the occasion of Kindness Wins Day.
Gauff posted a few videos on her Instagram story where she explained Kindness Wins Day and their initiative of renovating tennis courts. The teenager praised the cause and said that she donated $1000. She also urged others to raise money to support the initiative by donating.
"Hi everyone, it's Coco Gauff and if you don't know what today is, it's Kindness Wins Day, and if you don't know what that is, it's an initiative started by Madison Keys and her Kindness Wins Foundation," said the 2022 French Open finalist. "And basically today, we're trying to raise up to $10,000 or more to help with their initiatives."
"And for this initiative, they will be renovating some courts, tennis courts that need some love, and I think this is an important cause because it gives everyone an opportunity to play no matter where they're from or their background. So I've donated $1000. If you would like to donate, I'll attach the link on this story and also on the next one. Thank you and thanks to Madison for all that you're doing."
