Grand Slam champions Jim Courier, Andy Roddick and Gustavo Kuerten joined Chilean tennis star Fernando Gonzalez for a charity match in Miami last night to raise funds for disaster relief.
The foursome raised just over $125,000 for victims of the February 27th 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile which caused widespread devastation leaving behind 400 fatalities and nearly a million homeless.
Said Jim Courier, "Tennis is one big family, and we're good about supporting each other. Initiatives like this in a time of crisis, we're lucky we have a platform to raise money and raise awareness."
Good work guys.
