Eugenio Andrades’ Legacy latest news: Fostering Inclusion at the Iconic Caja Mágica   This past Saturday, in collaboration with Fundación Deporte y Desafío as part of Avolta's Eugenio Andrades’ Legacy project, we held a special event at Caja Mágica, home to the Mutua Madrid Open, where tennis legends such as Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Carlos Alcaraz, and Yannick Sinner have all left their mark. With over 40 participants, including 10 children with neurological disabilities alongside their families and our Avolta volunteers, the day was spent engaging in tennis lessons and inclusive games. This activity was particularly meaningful, as it brought together two of Eugenio’s great passions: tennis and supporting those less advantaged. Fundación Bepro led the activities, ensuring all participants enjoyed a day filled with learning and fun, and special thanks goes to the Mutua Madrid Open for generously offering us the use of their courts. The event concluded with a certificate ceremony led by Gerard Tsobanian, CEO, Mutua Madrid Open, Alberto Sánchez, Sports Manager, Mutua Madrid Open Sports Club, Paula Dávila Martínez, Eugenio's wife and Fernando Nadal Rubio, our Chief Operational Excellence & Risk Officer, recognizing each person's involvement. This event was not just about tennis – it was a powerful example of how sports can promote social inclusion and break down barriers; honoring Eugenio’s legacy of making a difference where it matters most.
