Founder and President Little Star Foundation
Andrea Jaeger started her career as a professional tennis player when she was just 14 years old. She enjoyed the time she spent dominating the competition on the court, but she couldn't shake the feeling that there was more she could be doing. Ms. Jaeger, after years of dominating the tennis world, felt a desire to give back, and she immediately began putting her money where her mouth was by donating to charitable organizations. She was put in a position where she had to choose between advancing her professional tennis career or aiding children in need, and she ultimately decided to help the children. Giving away the money she earned from tennis was the first step on her path to collecting awards. To date, Andrea Jaeger has been successful in raising over $135 million to assist children who are currently battling cancer as well as children who are in need, and she is working on doubling that number.
