2010 CONCERT BENEFITS ANDRE AGASSI COLLEGE PREPARATORY ACADEMY AND SUPPORTS FOUNDATION’S WORK TO TRANSFORM EDUCATION

Las Vegas (April 26, 2010)

The Andre Agassi Foundation for Education (AAFE) today announced that Sir Elton John and Rob Thomas will headline its 15th Grand Slam for Children benefit concert. The annual event supports the Foundation’s efforts to transform education and benefits the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, a K-12 public charter school in Las Vegas that strives to provide children with a first-class education. Hosted by tennis legend and philanthropist Andre Agassi and presented by Genworth Financial, the 2010 Grand Slam for Children will take place Saturday, Oct. 9 at Wynn Las Vegas.

“Reaching our 15th Grand Slam is an incredible milestone, and the support we’ve gotten from both the artists and those involved with our Foundation have made that possible,” said Andre Agassi. “Together, we’ve been able to give resources, give a level of accountability with those resources, and provide more opportunities for the children that society is quickest to write off. We’re honored that Elton & Rob have donated their time and talent to headline this special anniversary night, ultimately helping us make a difference in the lives of Agassi Prep students.”

“I am so very pleased to be invited to participate in Andre’s 15th Grand Slam for Children,” said Sir Elton John. “Andre has been a great and generous friend both to me and to the Elton John AIDS Foundation. I believe whole-heartedly in the wonderful work he is doing with the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy. No child should be written off or denied the opportunity to receive a first class education. I am proud to contribute to Andre’s efforts and so glad that we have opportunities, like this event, in which we can publicly support each other’s work.” "I'm proud to be a part of Andre Agassi's 15th Grand Slam for Children,” said Rob Thomas. “It's my third opportunity to work with Andre, who has been a good friend. His commitment to the children is infectious and I'm glad to be able to help him achieve his goal of providing quality education for as many children as possible."

Celebrating its 15th year, the Grand Slam brings together international stars – from music to comedy – each year to build awareness and raise money for the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education. Dedicated to transforming education, the Foundation opened the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy in 2001; in 2009, the public charter school graduated its first senior class with 100 percent of graduates accepted into college. The Foundation’s work is directly impacting students in Las Vegas, Agassi’s hometown community, but it has broader implications for education nationwide, as the Foundation works to increase investment in, and accountability for, public schools.

Since 1995, the Grand Slam has raised nearly $82 million, including $8 million from the 14th event, to support a movement that’s improving education for all children.

“We are excited to be the presenting sponsor of the 15th Grand Slam for Children benefit concert at the Wynn Las Vegas,” said Michael D. Fraizer, Genworth Financial chairman and chief executive officer. “We especially want to recognize the support that Andre and his foundation provide for children and education, which enables so many young people to have better opportunities for the future.”

“Our friends at the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education have made a significant impact on the lives of the students at Agassi Prep, achievements made possible largely through their Grand Slam for Children charity events,” said Wynn Las Vegas President Andrew Pascal. “The Foundation’s commitment to better education is also an investment in our community, in building a legacy of opportunity for Nevada’s children. We are honored to be a supporter of the organization’s fifteenth benefit concert and will continue to be a partner of this initiative.”

This year’s benefit concert will be headlined by legendary Grammy, Academy Award, Golden Globe and Tony Award-winning recording artist Sir Elton John and Grammy Award-winning, multiplatinum, singer/songwriter Rob Thomas. Additional top-name talent, who will be announced prior to the Oct. 9 event, will join Sir Elton John and Rob Thomas under the musical direction of Grammy Award-winning producer, arranger and composer David Foster.

The 15th Grand Slam for Children will take place Saturday, Oct. 9, 2010 at Wynn Las Vegas. The evening will include a cocktail reception, gourmet dinner, live auction and benefit concert. Sponsorships for the Grand Slam for Children are still available at the following levels: Silver $10,000, Gold $17,500, Platinum $40,000, and Diamond $85,000.
