Mario Lemieux joins Tony Hawk, Mia Hamm, Annika Sorenstam and more by responding to the oft-debated question: "Do all professional athletes have an obligation to give back?" as a part of Athletes for Hope's 'Who Gives?' Campaign. He shares his opinion:

“I agree with Jeff. Obligation probably isn’t the right word to use. I tend to believe that athletes should give back to their communities because their communities have given so much to them. I was blessed to be able to play and now own a franchise in the NHL. The sport of hockey and the city of Pittsburgh has opened many doors for me, so I want to give back so others can have success as well. The motto of my Foundation, Giving Others a Chance to Win, is something we take very seriously. I feel it is important to use my resources and the resources of my Foundation to help others, either through medical research initiatives or building sibling playrooms in medical facilities. Not everyone has the opportunity to use their name and status to give back to their communities, so I do feel it is something that every athlete should want to do.”
