You don’t need an ATP ranking to face off against Holger Rune.
Now, all you need is a dream and a winning bid to set up a showdown vs. Rune—and support the Danish children’s rights organisation, Børns Vilkår.
The auction house Bruun Rasmussen has launched an online auction, giving you the opportunity to bid on an exclusive tennis lesson with Danish tennis star Holger Rune.
All proceeds from the auction will go directly to Børns Vilkår, the children’s rights organization that Rune proudly supports as an ambassador.
Bid on the one-hour lesson with Holger Rune here.
On Sunday, March 23rd, 2025, Børns Vilkår will hold its annual nationwide fundraising campaign. Thousands of volunteers will raise funds for the organisation’s national helpline, BørneTelefonen, and youth counselling service, HØRT. However, this is not the only way to support the organisation’s important cause.
In 2024, Rune donated money for every ace he served during the Masters tournament in Indian Wells, and this year, the partnership has deepened into a permanent ambassadorship. Rune is now actively involved in launching initiatives and advocating children’s and young people’s well-being.
As part of this collaboration, Holger Rune is auctioning off a gift card for a one-hour tennis session, along with a racquet he competed with at the 2025 Australian Open and 2024 Rolex Paris Masters.
“I am very aware of how fortunate I was to have a good childhood, and the opportunities I’ve had along the way, and I’m deeply grateful for them,” Rune said. “Unfortunately, not all children are as fortunate, and I’m deeply moved when I hear about those facing neglect. This cause is close to my heart, and I want to support Børns Vilkår in raising awareness of this critical issue.
“I hope the auction will help raise awareness for Børns Vilkår’s annual fundraising campaign, which is such an important initiative. I am both happy and proud to contribute in this way. I also look forward to seeing who I will be playing against once the auction ends.”
