Herzogenaurach based footwear, apparel and accessories maker of adidas and Tennis icon Andre Agassi announced that for every pair of mi adidas shoes sold at the NY Sport Performance store through the duration of the US Open, $100 would go directly to the Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation (AACF).
In his first public appearance as an adidas partner, Agassi immortalized his handprints in concrete in front of a large crowd of fans in the Flagship adidas Sport Performance store at 610 North Broadway at Houston. To demonstrate the mi adidas technology, Agassi went through the program to create his own fully customized pair of mi adidas tennis shoes.
Founded in 1994, the Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation (AACF) was created to provide recreational and educational opportunities for at-risk children in Southern Nevada. Since its inception, the Foundation has supported more than 20 organizations and raised more than $50 million for programs designed to enhance a child's character, self-esteem and career possibilities.
In 2001, the AACF opened the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy – a public charter school conceived on the belief that nothing has a greater impact on a child's life than the education they receive. Located in the heart of Las Vegas' most at-risk neighborhood, the AACPA is designed to improve skill levels and combat lowered academic expectations while creating a climate of hope among this community's most challenged children. The curriculum emphasizes technology and college preparation while encouraging involvement in community affairs.
