Christie’s is conducting two auctions to benefit the Roger Federer Foundation. The items up for auction include Federer’s personal memorabilia from his 20 grand slam wins.

The estimate for the items ranges from £3,000 to £70,000. The first auction on June 23rd, 2021 will be held in London. The second auction will be held online from 23rd June 2021 to 14th June 2021.

Christie hopes to raise at least $2 million from the auction. Items on auction include racquets, shoes, and clothes Federer used during his most memorable matches.

The Roger Federer Foundation helps children living in poverty take control of their future by providing early education. The foundation has long-term relationships with local organizations to achieve its goal. The trustees of the foundation include the Federer family members and his agent Tony Godsick. 

Sweetens Cove Bourbon, backed by Andy Roddick and NFL star Peyton Manning hit the shelves this week for $200 per bottle. It is expected to be available at a number of major retailers.

Other investors in the venture include real estate investor Mark Rivers, sports broadcaster Jim Nantz, Leon Chen (CEO of Tiff’s Treats), and Kendra Scott CEO Tom Nolan.

The 25,000 bottles that will be released in Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia are a blend of 16, 6, and 4-year-old juices that were aged in barrels in Kentucky.

Real estate investor Mark Rivers asked his good friend Andy Roddick whether he wanted to invest in a golf club. Roddick was interested and the investors bought a nine-hole golf course in rural Tennessee called Sweetens Cove. Interestingly, the investors in the golf club also signed on to the bourbon since they all drank bourbon after golf.

The woman behind the Sweetens Cove Bourbon is Marianne Eaves.  She is Kentucky’s first female master distiller. The investors hope that Eaves’ expertise will fetch the hefty $200 price tag per bottle.
