Athletes for Hope, a charitable organisation to help athletes, their fans and the corporate community help make the world a better place has been launched by an elite group of professional athletes including Andre Agassi and Muhammad Ali.
The 12 founding athletes, coming together from different sports, all share a common passion for philanthropy and have come together to "Pass the Passion" and ignite a movement for giving back.
By connecting with professional athletes and educating them about their philanthropic options, Athletes for Hope will equip them with the tools to effectively give back to their community, educate their peers, and inspire many others to support charitable causes.
The 12 founding Athletes to date have raised over $500 million for charitable and health-related causes. Ivan Blumberg, Athletes for Hope's CEO, commented: "By bringing together athletes, fans, charities and corporations through programs focused on education, connection and recognition Athletes for Hope is starting a philanthropic movement that has the potential to inspire millions of people to positive change."
