Puerto Rican tennis star Puig has so far managed to raise over $100,000 USD for her home island via her YouCaring donations page. Yesterday, Sharapova tweeted: "Less than 12 months ago I visited the beautiful island of Puerto Rico as the guest of Monica Puig for her exhibition match. I fell in love with the island, the people and the culture. From a distance, it is incredibly devastating to see how much the island and people are suffering.


"I have been following all the amazing and heartfelt work Monica has been doing for the island and I will continue to support her fund raising efforts. All profits beginning today through the end of the year from Sugarpova.com will go directly to support Monica's fund.

She has raised close to $100K and we will continue to grow that number all together. "Please visit https://www.youcaring.com/donatewithmonica for all information about Monica's fund, as well as Sugarpova.com from which all proceeds will go directly to helping Puerto Rico."
