NEW YORK (AP) - It's a philanthropic Dream Team. Andre Agassi, Lance Armstrong and Mia Hamm are among 12 founders of Athletes for Hope, a charitable organization that aims to pass on their passion for good works to athletes, fans and corporations.
"We all probably regret the same thing in life, not starting our foundations earlier," Agassi said at a press conference Wednesday. "Athletes have real short windows. Those windows need to be maximized. We have the heart and desire to give."
It's the brainchild of the three stars, and they've joined forces with Muhammad Ali, Warrick Dunn, Jeff Gordon, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Tony Hawk, Andrea Jaeger, Mario Lemieux, Alonzo Mourning and Cal Ripken Jr.
