Rafa Nadal took some time off from training yesterday to attend to a
Hugo Boss event held especially for the number one champion.
The famous line of
clothing presented Rafael with a signed check for 20.8114 euros as a
humanitarian gesture for his precious Rafa Nadal Foundation.
The foundation was unveiled early this year in February and it’s main
objective is to help kids with disabilities and youth in third world
countries.
Thanks to all the support from firms like Hugo Boss, now the foundation
has started to take off and has more money to help develop future projects –
some of them are taking a while to get under way due to his busy schedule as
Rafa explained.
"I don’t have much time at the moment and mum is the one working on
it on my behalf. It’s taken us a while to get started to be honest” said Rafa.
This was something that the Nadal-Parera family took into consideration
before but still wanted to do it was because it was a long-term commitment that
Rafa wanted to be part of. It is really important for him to invest some of his
time giving back to the people that need it most.
“The amount of money donated by Hugo Boss was earned through the sale of
their clothes which had a certain percentage of the price of each item going
away for Rafa’s foundation’ explained the Prince of Asturias of Sports
2008.
Rafa also talked about a recent agreement made in New York in which he
intends to become the ambassador of the ‘Best Buddies’ organization through his
foundation, however, ‘there is still a lot to talk about’ he finalized.
