Andy Roddick never stops giving his time to charity!

Only hours after wrapping up his Charity Gala featuring Elton John in Austin, Andy jumped a plane to NYC to join James Blake for the “Serving for a Cure” Charity Event at Pier 94. All the proceeds will benefit the Thomas Blake Sr. Memorial Cancer Research Fund at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The evening will feature an exhibition, fashion show and concert by Wyclef Jean. James recently touched on how him and Andy became close friends in an interview with ESPN:

“I met Andy at Wimbledon when he was 17 and I was 19, and he was cracking me up from the get-go. He was very personable and likable, always making fun of himself and joking around. We got to know each other better playing challenger events in towns that didn’t have much of a night life. You’d be in little hotels, hitting Outback or the Olive Garden for dinner, playing cards and watching football at night. There were no entourages, no media requests, no time constraints. I met my best friends that way: Andy, Robby Ginepri, Mardy Fish, the Bryan brothers. Andy always tries to help me out whenever he can. We’re going to play an exhibition match.”
