    Digital Desk: Mrs Nita Ambani, Founder and Chairperson of Reliance Foundation, presented Diego Schwartzman with the inaugural Reliance Foundation ESA Cup today at The Boodles Tennis event at Stoke Park in Buckinghamshire. 

    For those who are unaware, the Boodles is a unique exhibition Tennis event that serves as one of the most luxurious warm-ups for the Wimbledon Championships. This year marks the 19th anniversary of the event, which began on June 27 and will conclude on July 1.

    World-class tennis will be played with top tennis stars in attendance, all while enjoying a delightful English garden party atmosphere. The Reliance Foundation ESA Cup will be given to a player on each of the event's five days. After delivering the ESA Cup to Diego Schwartzman on Tuesday (June 27), Nita Ambani presented a donation to Action4Youth.


    Speaking at the event, Nita Ambani acknowledged her excitement at witnessing some top-tier tennis in a lovely setting. "It was an absolutely incredible atmosphere out here as we got to watch some great tennis and celebrate the importance of sports in bringing a community together." The opportunity to serve humanitarian causes while enjoying a day of fantastic athletic events makes this even more important.

    "I wish and encourage all of the young people in this community to take up any sport of your choice and bring to yourself and those around you the spirit of enthusiasm, conviction, positive attitude, and resilience to life, the joy that we hope will also make this community an even more charming place to be in," she stated.

    Furthermore, The Education and Sports for All (ESA) initiative is led by Nita Ambani of the Reliance Foundation. The campaign promotes the development and equal opportunities for all children in education and sports. The Boodles Tennis Challenge is part of the same effort, and it allows the ESA to expand its reach beyond India. Their most recent programme aims to impact the lives of youngsters at Stoke Park and make sports more accessible to all.
