From WBC Cares:
Thanks to Ugive.org – the amazing team of Ellie Cox and Deanna Castillini – WBC Cares chair Jill Diamond and WBC Cares Board Member Salvador Briman were invited to participate in a Sports and Philanthropy Weekend at the beautiful Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort and Spa in Arizona.
Many generous people in the sport’s world gave their time, including Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, Lance Armstrong, Tom Jackson, Johnny Bench, Alonzo Mourning, Tony Hawk, Annika Sorenstam, Mia Hamm, Anthony Munoz, Cris Collingsworth, Julie Foudy, Dhani Jones, as well as many other athletes, foundation chairs and interested participants. Everyone was united by their love of athletics, and more importantly, their dedication to help the world through their sport. During this time, there were many organized discussions about the importance of giving back to the community.
The three days ended with a 70th Birthday Party tribute to Muhammad Ali. Salvador Briman and the WBC gave Muhammad Ali a magnificent bronze statue of a boxer.The base of the statue has the signatures of many other World Champions, as well as our President, Jose Sulaiman.
Famous Mexican sculptor Byron Galvez created the WBC Signature Statue, and it has become the symbol of our WBC Cares program. Salvador also presented Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf and Lance Armstrong with WBC championship belts with their pictures on it. They were awed by the belts and the gesture. We also honored Chris Waddell with a WBC Medal for his courage and sportsmanship. Chris is the subject of the documentary “Movement,” about athletes with challenges. He’s a top mono skier and has won more than 17 medals in the Paralympics.
It was an inspiring three days. WBC Cares wants to thank UGive, who in conjunction with A4Charity, made this weekend, possible.
