It is an honor for Laureus Sport for Good Foundation USA to be recognized alongside our long-standing partner, Mercedes-Benz USA as finalists for the ESPN Humanitarian Corporate Community Impact Award. Our partnership with Mercedes-Benz USA dates back 14 years and it is a privilege to work alongside a corporation who shares in our commitment to champion change through sport. Together we’ve impacted over 360,000 at-risk youth in 58 cities across the nation. Through the Laureus Model City Initiative in New Orleans, we’ve benefitted over 25,000 youth by bringing together 20 community organizations to increase quality youth sports programming.

We are proud of our partnership with Mercedes-Benz USA and look forward to continuing our work together using sport as a vehicle to change the lives of youth and strengthen our communities.
In addition, we congratulate Laureus Ambassador Chris Paul on his well-deserved selection as the 2016 Sports Humanitarian of the Year. He has continuously demonstrated a commitment to making a positive impact on his community, and we are proud to have his support of Sport for Good.
