The Make-A-Wish® vision is to grant the
wish of every child diagnosed with a
critical illness. In the United States and its
territories, on average, a wish is granted
every 34 minutes. I believe a wish
experience can be a game-changer.
I have coordinated multiple celebrity
golf tournaments to support
Make-A-Wish foundation. As an Olympic Gold Medalist,
(1968 Olympics Mexico City), the
Olympics will always hold a special
place in my heart. Additionally, my brother
was part of the Special Olympics. My wife
and I support several charities, but this is
one of our favorites. We recently donated
30,000 pairs of shoes to every participant
in the Special Olympics in Dubai.

I believe in community investment.
The investment comes in the form of
donating my time, talent, or resources
to nonprofits that align with my
values and lived experiences.
These are three that I believe in:
Equipment Connections for Children

Association; and the Dream

People can adopt a wolf (virtual adoption). I've adopted
several, most currently Shalimar (Shali). Several people
in my family have adopted a wolf. It's wonderful to get
the children involved in something so meaningful.
