Game for Dignity – Tennis in the Service of Humanity

Sep 23, 2024Events

The humanitarian Gem for Dignity tennis tournament, which was held on the courts of the Tipsarević Tennis Academy and with the support of the Belgrade Tennis Association, sponsors and donors, once again proved that sport can be a driver of humanity.

This significant sporting event brought together 56 participants across different competitions, all with the goal of supporting palliative care for cancer patients and children diagnosed with terminal illnesses.

Thanks to this support, 560,000 dinars were raised, which will be directed toward improving the free services that BELhospice provides to its patients.

A huge thanks to the tournament hosts: the Tipsarević Tennis Academy, the tournament sponsor Ananas, and the donor companies: Daon, Apatinska Brewery, Addiko Bank, Heineken, MarshMcLennan, and Velsera. Many thanks to the Tennis Association of Belgrade for their support of the tournament.

We are also immensely grateful to the gift donors: Babolat, Knjaz Miloš, Fruvita, Home Made, Movem Fashion, and Aerodrom Catering. Additionally, special thanks to Fabrika Fotografija for capturing the best moments of the event, as well as to all the participants.
