Murray and Swarc: Guard the children in the war with love

Since the end of February, the Russian -Ukraine conflict has lasted for 5 months. In March and April, our domestic media and the public remained very high attention to the military conflict. In the past two months, I found that few people around me have discussed the latest situation of Russia and Ukraine as enthusiastically as in the past.

However, the tennis world has always maintained a high degree of attention to this conflict. For example, at the ATP500 Citi Bank Open at Washington, USA yesterday, the event party announced that it would donate good funds such as the United Nations Children's Foundation to help Ukraine children affected by the war.

During the March of the Indian Veles Masters in March, Murray announced that he would donate all the prizes of this year's remaining competition to the United Nations Children's Foundation to help Ukrainian children affected in the Russian -Ukraine conflict.

According to the data on the official website of ATP, Murray has participated in 7 stops since Indianovis, winning a prize of $ 78,245, 158,535 euros and 78,000 pounds, totaling about $ 335,799.

The above bonuses are made before tax, and most countries have given tax exemption to public welfare donations, so I guess that Murray's actual donation bonus is equivalent to the total bonus.

In other words, Murray has played a global trip to the world since March. The first and two -time Olympic gold medal winners and the three Grand Slam championship are actually volunteers for the United Nations Children's Foundation. As far as I know, among the active men and women tennis players, Murray is the only person to donate all the remaining events this year.

Similar to Murray's approach, the Citi Bank Open this week announced that it will donate to the good funds of Murray's bonuses. Last week, Mark Ein, the chairman of the event, announced the donation decision, and the reason for this decision was inspired by Murray. "Murray's actions inspire us. No matter which round of rounds of Andy Murray, we will donate equivalent funds to the United Nations Children's Foundation like him."

Public information shows that the first round of the Citi Bank's Open singles was $ 7620, and the bonus of each round was roughly twice the last round, and the champion bonus reached $ 342,800. At about 7 o'clock this morning, Murray lost to Swedish player M-Imel in the first round. He will donate $ 7,620 for the United Nations Children's Foundation, plus the equivalent donation of the event, the amount of donation is $ 15,240.

In addition, the organizer also launched a website that fans can donate on the website. "This is great. Thank you very much for the support of the competitors and all team members. This shows that when the player and the championship are working together, the real good thing will happen. I hope I can have a good performance here, and many fans can participate in it. , Co -raised some funds, "Murray said before the game.

While expressing gratitude to the event, Murray also focused on the importance of putting the Ukraine issue under the spotlight. The British player believes that people's attention to Ukraine has declined, so it is necessary to do something to re -attract public attention. "This (the Russian and Ukraine War) is no longer an important content in the news, just like the beginning of the war. But we can't forget this matter, it is still continuing, people are still killed, children still have to escape from their homes And in a very tragic situation. I think the media needs to keep paid attention to this. "

Murray coincides with Swarc, the world's first Swarc.

On July 23, Krakov, Polish, held a performance game entitled "Swarcick and her friends" to raise funds for the Ukrainian human videos. In addition to the players participating in the show, in addition to the first Swarcick in the world of women's singles, there are also the second A. Radwandska in the world, the men's player Sthovsky, who has joined Ukraine Reserve, and European football in 2004 Mr. Scholkko, who was pregnant, was a referee of the Ukrainian player Swenna.

The show attracted more than 10,000 fans to watch on the spot and raised a total of $ 516,000. It is said that the good model will be assigned to the United Nations Children's Foundation, United 24 and the Swenna Foundation, which is specifically used to help escape from Poland to Poland. Ukrainian women and children.

"This is definitely an unforgettable day. I still need to pay attention to it. Now I just want to thank all of you." Swark wrote on social media.

Since March, Swarc's ribbon of the Ukraine flag color on the hat is used to express support for Ukraine. At that time, many players did the same. However, over time, fewer and fewer players wearing Huang Lan ribbons, Swarc said that he would have been wearing this ribbon until the end of the war. (Source: Tennis Home Author: Yunjuan Yunshu)
