Rafa Nadal Foundation joins forces with Hong Kong charity to nurture next generation
Tennis superstar Rafael Nadal will work with WEMP Foundation, and founder Adrian Cheng, to improve well-being of world’s children
Rafael Nadal has joined forces with a local Hong Kong charity to improve the well-being of children around the world through sports and play, the two organisations announced on Friday.
The 22-time grand slam winner’s Rafa Nadal Foundation has allied with The WEMP Foundation, which was created by Adrian Cheng Chi-kong, and the pair hosted The Children Ball in the city’s Rosewood Hotel on Friday.
Nadal, who won a record 14 French Open titles, said he felt it was his “responsibility” to nurture the next generation both on and off the tennis court.
“It feels great to partner with Adrian again, following our previous collaboration to launch the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre Hong Kong,” the Spaniard said during an event at the Regent Hong Kong Hotel.
“Both of us believe that we have a responsibility to speak up for the next generation. We are committed to using sports to improve the well-being of young people around the world.
“Total well-being is the powerful balance between physical activity, personal growth and emotional resilience. We strive to unlock the potential of children and adolescents through sports, education and mentorship.”
