The Foundation promotes various sports tournaments for senior citizens. For the third year, the All India Seniors Tennis Tournament in New Delhi was supported by the Foundation as the exclusive sponsor. The support for the tennis tournaments is an extension of the Chairman philanthropic contribution towards supporting senior citizens and sports.

The Hon’ble Speaker of AP Legislative Assembly, Shri. Narendar Manohar, inaugurated the Senior Citizen Tennis Tournament at Bhimavaram.

Mr. Vegesna is a passionate sports lover and proud owner of the ICC auctioned Official Match Ball from the India vs. Sri Lanka final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011. This Match Ball is a symbol of EXCELLENCE and represents everything that we can be, and everything that we must aspire to be. Other things among his collection are a boxing glove of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, guitars of Eric Clapton, Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney and the ball used in 49ers’ Super Championship win in American Football.”

“That winning moment represented everything we can be, and everything we must aspire to be.”
– Raju Vegesna, after India’s Cricket World Cup win in 2011

RVF Chairman Mr. Raju Vegesna’s love for sports has hit the headlines more than once. In 2011, Mr. Vegesna launched a bid for the ball that Indian skipper MS Dhoni sent sailing over the fence to seal the famous triumph at the ICC World Cup final.

Mr. Vegesna said that he decided to win the ball, which he saw as a symbol of excellence that epitomised the success of the entire team. “Bats, after all, are about individuals, are they not? So, I had my eyes only on the ball.”

Other sporting memorabilia among his collection are a boxing glove of the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, and the ball used in 49ers’ Super Championship win in American Football.

It’s only a natural extension of this passion then, that RVF, too, is involved in activities that promote sport.
