Reasons behind the project

At the dawn of a most promising career, Félix wishes to combine his performance with a personal commitment, one linked to his family background and his education, one that goes beyond just playing tennis.
Félix’s objective is to give meaning to his career and have a positive impact that reaches further than the tennis courts.
He has therefore decided to commit himself to a cause that is close to his heart: building a better future for the younger generations in Togo, his father’s home country

I would like to give meaning to my career as a professional tennis player. Tennis is an incredible sport that has taught me - and continues to teach me - many things, including hard work, perseverance and humility. I want to take these values beyond the tennis court where they can have a positive impact. Yes, I am a tennis player, but I’m also a citizen of the world. I want to contribute to the future of young generations, especially the most disadvantaged, and I am happy to be able to do so through tennis

Félix Auger-Aliassime, launched the #FFAPOINTSFORCHANGE project

With several records in youthful achievement to his name, and standing on the brink of a top-level international career, Félix is determined to make sure his career is about more than sport results. He wants to make a commitment and a real difference to the world. This consciousness and desire spring from his family background and education. While focusing on his primary goal (playing tennis), he wants to contribute to the future of young generations.

BNP Paribas supports Félix in his commitment towards education

Pursuing its mission as a committed company, BNP Paribas is helping to change the world for a better future through four focus areas: young generations, energy transition and biodiversity, new forms of social and female entrepreneurship, and territorial inclusiveness. BNP Paribas has been a tennis sponsor for over 45 years, participating in concrete actions and helping its partners to build their projects. It also helps young people around the world to build a better future and live their dreams.

CARE is in charge of the EduChange program, to which the funds #FFAPOINTSFORCHANGE are transferred
