Oxfam will net �100k if Federer triumphs at Wimbledon - Civil Society - Fundraising - News - providing news and in-depth coverage of charities, voluntary organisations and not-for-profits: If Andy Murray and Roger Federer both make it through to the Wimbledon final, Oxfam may find itself at odds with the rest of the nation on Sunday - the charity stands to make more than �100,000 if the Swiss player wins.
Oxfordshire man Nicholas Newlife died in 2009, leaving his estate, including a series of betting slips, to the charity. That included a �1,520 wager at 66/1 on Federer to win Wimbledon seven times before 2020, which could net the charity �101,840.
