Agassi Grand Slam For Children Benefit Is Saturday Night |

The Andre Agassi Foundation for Education has announced that Michael Bublé, Jimmy Kimmel, Martina McBride, Smokey Robinson and Train will headline the event hosted by tennis legend and Hall of Famer Agassi and presented by Longines, the Swiss watch-making company.

The event supports the Foundation’s efforts to transform education and benefits the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, a tuition free K-12 public charter school in Las Vegas which provides children with a first-class education.

“It’s amazing what can be accomplished when people come together to change lives and make the world a better place for children. The 16th Grand Slam will bring together some of the world’s greatest entertainers which inspires the generosity of people from Las Vegas and around the globe,” Agassi said. “This year’s event will create a lasting memory and will enable us to give the tools of hope to the next generation. I want to personally thank Wynn Las Vegas for its hospitality and Longines for being our presenting sponsor. Both are truly generous and great partners to the Foundation.”

The Grand Slam brings together international stars and noted artists– from music to comedy – to build awareness and raise money for the Foundation’s biggest fundraiser.

Dedicated to transforming and elevating education, the Foundation opened Agassi Prep in 2001. In 2009, the public charter school graduated its first senior class with 100 percent of graduates accepted into college, as were the graduates in the classes of 2010 and 2011. The Foundation’s work is directly impacting students in Las Vegas, Agassi’s hometown community, but it has broader implications for education nationwide.

Since 1995, the Grand Slam has raised nearly $92 million, including $8.5 million from the 15^th event, to support a movement that’s improving education. Additional top-name talent, who will be announced prior to the Oct. 29 event, will join Michael

Bublé, Jimmy Kimmel, Martina McBride, Smokey Robinson and Train.

The evening will include a cocktail reception, gourmet dinner, live auction and benefit concert.

Sponsorships for the Grand Slam are still available at the following levels: Silver $10,000, Gold $17,500, Platinum $40,000, and Diamond $85,000.
