Have a look at pics taken during the RF and Friends charity event held on 8 January 2014 in support of the Federer Foundation.
The event raised over $1 million for Roger’s Foundation. Read more.
I’m so impressed that Roger made time to hold this event. I loved how his mum described his involvement with charity, something like “he uses his privileged position to help others”. And he does a great job of it.
The 15,000 seats in Rod Laver Arena were practically full and it was a great opportunity for fans to see the tennis greatness of Roger, Rod Laver, Lleyton Hewitt, Pat Rafter and Jo-Wilfied Tsonga all in one place.
The crowd were given small lights to create a great atmosphere
