Awardment Serving Up Dreams is presented to “an individual who embodies the values of service dedicated to advance the work of the UNTA Foundation to prepare young people for the challenges of life they will face, both inside and outside the court, through strong combination of tennis, education and life skills,” the Foundation said in a statement.
Agassi is one of the few professional tennis players to create a foundation during their play career, and he approaches his philanthropy with the same unclear car and concentration as he demonstrated in court. In 2001, Agassi founded the Andre Agassi Education Foundation to improve public schools and invest in communities. His efforts have raised over $ 180 million so far. He founded and led the Preparatory Academy of Andre Agassi (Agassi Prep), a free school for the public charter in his hometown, Las Vegas, who graduated nine high classes under the leadership of Agassi, and still remains open today. He also co-founded the Turner-Agassi school school fund, which helps build schools in low-income areas across the country. Agassi has dedicated most of his life after strain on education reform, especially for young people from communities under resources.
Agassi also personally funded a boys and girls club in Las Vegas.
One of the only five men to achieve a Grand Slam career in the open era, Agassi transformed tennis sport in the 1990s, becoming a global legend with his charismatic personality and the bold style of play. Alongside his eight major single titles, he won a golden Olympic medal in Atlanta and 60 tour titles during his 21-year professional career, before retired at US 2006.
“Investing in education is one of the most powerful ways you can transform life and communities. While my career may have been in tennis, I believe my real call is to help create quality academic opportunities for young people I sincerely did not have,” Agassi said. “It is a privilege to be able to make changes and help to give children the opportunity to choose their own way. This honor serves as a reminder that when you set the hard work and keep yourself responsible for achieving true results, you can change life. This is the only result that really matters.”
