Video Contest: Deadline Approaching

We are in full swing for planning the 2007 Charity Events and we need your help!

An instrumental part of both Charity events is an inspirational video montage. Andy and the Foundation members agree it is time for a new video. Initially we were going to pull together some pictures and video clips as a team but Andy had a better idea! After spending some time on the website these past few weeks, Andy saw how ridiculously talented and creative the fans are! He is positive that one of you is capable of creating a video montage that truly embodies the Foundation’s dedication and his spirit on and off the court.

It is certainly a challenge but the reward is worth it. The Fan whose video montage is selected will win a round trip ticket with in the US , two tickets and a hotel room to either the upcoming Charity Gala in Austin or South Florida . The contest is open to fans from all over but for budget reasons the Foundation can only pay for a domestic plane ticket, however for you international talents, if you can get yourself to America , we will take care of the rest!

Guidelines for the Video Contest are as follows

• Videos must be between 3 –- 5 minutes
