Tennis phenom Coco Gauff is following in the footsteps of many young, Black and legendary athletes by giving back to the Black community and future student-athletes via a $100,000 gift to the United Negro College Fund. In fact, according to Blavity, at age 20, Gauff is one of the youngest UNCF donors in the organization’s history.
“We are incredibly grateful to Coco Gauff for her generous $100,000 gift to UNCF, which will significantly impact the lives of HBCU students aspiring to excel in competitive tennis,” Maurice E. Jenkins, Jr., the executive vice president and chief development officer at UNCF, said in a press release. “Her commitment not only showcases her dedication to education and athletics but also inspires the next generation of student-athletes to pursue their dreams. This gift reinforces the importance of supporting our young leaders and ensuring they have the resources necessary to succeed both on and off the court.”
