Not only does he look stylish and play a picture-perfect game of tennis, Roger Federer cares as well. At the Masters Cup in Shanghai recently, his image was used to sell more than 2,300 Feder-bear Beanie Babies (r) as part of a charity effort to raise money for ACE (Assisting Children Everywhere) – a partnership between the ATP and UNICEF. Through ACE, the two organizations work to use tennis’ popularity to help secure resources such as education, protection, and health for vulnerable children.

The Feder-bear is an official Ty Beanie Baby (r) produced exclusively for ATP by Ty. Proceeds from the sale of each $8 bear will benefit the ACE program.
