In addition, the Tennis Paradise Shop on-site will offer a "Round-Up" program allowing all fas to easily round up to the nearest dollar with each purchase, with all donations going to the The Champions Volunteer Foundation. "Giving back to the local desert community has always been a critical aspect of our tournament’s identity, and this year provides us with a terrific opportunity to keep raising our commitment to having a positive impact on the Coachella Valley," said Desert Champions Chief of Marketing Officer Philippe Dore. "We’re excited to support the great work that The Champions Volunteer Foundation does in our community, and this trio of initiatives makes us believe that our 2023 tournament can be the most impactful yet."
