Keeping up with the FoundersThe Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation’s 13th Annual Grand Slam for Children was held October 11th at Wynn Las Vegas. "We put on an amazing party in partnership with our host Wynn Las Vegas and presenting sponsor Genworth Financial," said Agassi, “It was a party to celebrate many successful years of raising money for underserved children hand-in-hand with our generous supporters and sponsors. And at the same time, it was a party to look to the future and what can be accomplished with the Foundation's new mission." That mission includes expanding beyond Las Vegas and transforming education across the United States.
