Of this there can be no dispute: the PowerShares Series, now in its 10th year, continues to give back through the game that has given its participants so much. Consider the first two events of this year’s 30-and-over tour, in Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. The throwback throwdowns featured Andre Agassi, James Blake, Jim Courier, Mark Philippoussis, and Andy Roddick—13 Grand Slam singles titles, four charitable foundations, and a charter school between them. In L.A., the players were joined on the court by fellow athletes from ACEing Autism, which teaches tennis to more than 500 autistic children each week at locations across the country.
Along with its other properties, Inside Out Sports + Entertainment, which heads the PowerShares Series, has raised more than $4 million for charity.
