Novak Djokovic Donates $21.5 Million for Hurricane Milton Relief Efforts
Tennis legend Novak Djokovic has once again demonstrated his philanthropic spirit by donating an astounding $21.5 million to aid relief efforts following the devastating impact of Hurricane Milton. The powerful storm, which recently made landfall near Belgrade, Serbia, caused widespread destruction, displacing thousands and leaving significant damage in its wake. Djokovic’s contribution is aimed at helping affected communities rebuild and recover.
This donation is part of Djokovic’s ongoing commitment to humanitarian causes. Throughout his career, the world-renowned athlete has been a key figure in charity work, notably through the Novak Djokovic Foundation. The foundation primarily focuses on early childhood education, but Djokovic has also been active in providing disaster relief. His past contributions include donations to flood relief efforts in Serbia and support for pandemic-related medical aid.
Hurricane Milton, which had winds reaching over 160 mph, is considered one of the costliest disasters to hit the region. With homes, schools, and infrastructure severely damaged, Djokovic’s contribution will assist in providing emergency supplies, food, and clean water to the affected areas. The funds are also expected to aid long-term rebuilding projects, helping restore essential services and homes.
Djokovic has previously expressed his deep connection to Serbia and his desire to give back to his homeland, especially in times of crisis. His $21.5 million donation adds to the over $8 million he has donated to various causes over the years, including pandemic relief and disaster recovery.
His efforts continue to inspire both fans and fellow athletes, reaffirming his position not just as a tennis great, but also as a global humanulitarian.
