Not only was the 47th Porsche Tennis Grand Prix a success, but also the Aces for Charity fundraiser which has been a fixture for many years at the long-standing Stuttgart tournament. Porsche donated 200 euro to charitable organisations for every ace struck. Up until the final, a total of 178 outright service winners were sent down and Porsche rounded the sum up to 60,000 euro. The money has been divided up equally between the tournament’s charity partners, the “Stiftung Agapedia” foundation, and the “Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe”.
The cheques were handed over before the final on Centre Court by Albrecht Reimold, Member of the Executive Board, Production and Logistics of Porsche AG. The money will go towards funding educational projects for refugees from Ukraine. Elena Rybakina played a major part in increasing the donation as the tournament winner delivered a total of 26 aces.
