Honoring Dynamic Efforts To Help Children (NAPSA)—Andrea Jaegeris a person who knows how to make a dream come true. After becoming the world’s No. 2 ranked tennis player at age 16, she realized that her tennis achievements were not her only life’s dream. She wanted to help children with cancer. After a shoulder injury ended her tennis career, she began volunteering at various pediatric cancer hospitals. She envisioned programs that would provide such kids a safe haven—and then she made them happen. With her strong dedication and tireless fundraising efforts, Jaeger created the Little Star Foundation, a nonprofit organization, which provides long-term care and lifetime opportunities for children with cancer. Andrea’s Little Star Foundation provides a wide range ofservices from financial assistance to medical care, educational opportunities, teenage employment and once-in-a-lifetime camp experiences. Jaeger’s efforts were honored by beauty company Clarins this year when she received their 2007 “Most Dynamic Woman Award,” which originated at Clarins global headquarters in France 10 years ago.
