Tennis Stars' Surprise $1M Gift for Brain Health
30 Oct
Summary
- Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf pledged $1 million in 2026.
- The donation supported brain health research at a Las Vegas center.
- This followed a previous $1.5 million gift from the couple.
In April 2026, tennis icons Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf made a surprise announcement at a Las Vegas charity event, pledging $1 million to Keep Memory Alive. This nonprofit organization supports the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health.
The donation occurred during the 21st annual Power of Love gala, where Agassi was being honored for his community leadership. He took the opportunity to express gratitude for the support he has received from the center's founder, Larry Ruvo, and his wife, Camille.
This significant pledge was not the couple's first contribution to the facility. In January 2026, Agassi and Graf had previously donated $1.5 million directly to the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health. Together, these publicly acknowledged gifts total $2.5 million in support of critical brain health research and patient care.
