Frances Tiafoe and girlfriend Ayan Broomfield embrace the holiday spirit by giving away Thanksgiving Turkey dinner to the needy
American tennis star Frances Tiafoe and his girlfriend Ayan Broomfield, brought smiles to many faces this Thanksgiving. The couple participated in a turkey dinner giveaway organized by The Purposeful Unconditional Service to Others Foundation.
Tiafoe, who recently concluded his 2024 tennis season with a first-round exit at the Paris Masters, partnered with the Virginia-based non-profit organization to support families in need during the holiday season.
The event, held on November 28, 2024, saw Tiafoe and Broomfield engaging with the community. Dressed in the foundation’s merchandise, Tiafoe was captured in a video enthusiastically handing out turkeys.
This act of kindness was highlighted by Broomfield, who shared a short clip of the event on social media. Tiafoe reshared Broomfield's story on his social media with emojis:
"✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿"
Born to parents who fled Sierra Leone's civil war, Tiafoe grew up in poverty with limited resources for tennis. In a podcast interview with fellow tennis star Nick Kyrgios, Tiafoe shared that during his junior tennis days, he often faced ridicule for his second-hand clothes and rackets. However, his father Constant always supported him, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and encouraging him to pursue a career in tennis. Frances Tiafoe said,
"There’s days where it got tough for me, my brother. We’re going to practice, and we’re wearing hand-me-down stuff or demo rackets, whatever you can play with. People are laughing at us, saying, ‘This guy thinks he can be a pro, or this guy is playing with holes in his shoes, whose shoes are those or Pikachu shirts and khaki shorts, and I’m playing tournaments, and they’re like, ‘That’s not even tournament equipment’ and I’m like, ‘This is all I got.'
He added,
"Yeah, my dad's definitely one. My dad was always saying, ‘It's not about where he starts but where you going.’ That sentence right there changed my life. He’s just so proud of me,"
