Muhammad Ali made a personal visit this week to the White Sox ball club during their spring training in Arizona to encourage the team to give back to the community. The legend started the Athletes for Hope organization in 2007 with other philanthropic athletes Andre Agassi, Alonzo Mourning, Lance Armstrong, Warrick Dunn and a few others. The organization aims to educate, encourage and assist athletes in their efforts to contribute to community and charitable causes as well as inspire others to do the same.
His wife, Lonnie, and Athletes for Hope CEO, Ivan G. Blumberg, who did a presentation about the organization, joined Ali.
It had to be a great honor to be in the presence of “The Champ.” Check out the video with Ali and the star-struck team! http://mlb.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?content_id=13163373
