BRYAN BROTHERS SERVE UP 'RACQUETS FOR REFUGEES' FUNDRAISING AUCTION IN SUPPORT OF ELINA SVITOLINA'S EFFORTS FOR UKRAINE
Two months ago, the Bryan twins, who are the ATP all-time winningest doubles team, committed to participating in the 'Tennis with the Stars' event to help fundraise for the Bush ACE Outreach Program and the Elina Svitolina Foundation.
The Bryans have made several trips to Texas to support the work of the Bush ACE Outreach Program. In 2018, WTA star Elina Svitolina visited West Texas to support the program and after seeing the program in action decided to launch her own foundation.
Tim Stallard , Executive Director of the Bush Tennis Center has made two trips to Kyiv to support Elina Svitolina with her efforts and will be hosting upcoming fundraising events in Indian Wells, CA on March 8 and Austin, TX on March 21 benefitting both the Bush ACE Outreach Program and the Elina Svitolina Foundation.
said Stallard.
The 'Racquets for Refugees' fundraising auction will feature tennis racquets autographed and donated by ATP and WTA stars including legends and current champions.

Elina Svitolina, Gaël Monfils, the Bryan Brothers, Jessica Pegula , Frances Tiafoe, Jean-Julien Rojer , and Nick Monroe will headline the event, featuring a Thrills and Drills Clinic, celebrity Pro-Am, and happy hour meet-and-greet.
