#FAAPointsForChange: having a positive impact beyond the tennis courts
Through #FAAPointsForChange, Félix Auger-Aliassime leverages his on-court performances to help meet his personal commitment, drawing on his family background and education. What does the programme aim to do? To score the most points possible in order to provide children with school kits, training, educational and sporting equipment. The programme helps more than 2500 children, 60% of whom are girls.
So how does it work in practical terms? For each point scored during the season, Félix donates $5 and BNP Paribas matches it, three time over, at $15. The sums raised are used to fund the EduChange programme set up by CARE to educate and lift children up in the Kara region of Togo.
The #FAAPointsForChange programme is part of the Group’s ongoing commitment to the younger generations and its long-standing tennis partnership.
