Serena Williams
A hit on and off the court, tennis legend Serena Williams will always be one of our top ranked players in the philanthropy game. Besides holding 13 Grand Slam titles, Williams has received praise and accolades which include the “Young Heroes Award” from Big Brother Big Sisters of Great L.A. and a Celebrity Role Model award from Avon Foundation for her work with breast cancer. Williams helped to build the Secondary School in Matooni, Kenya. Most recently, Serena, along with her sister Venus, skipped the 2010 Australian Open to form a charity event to benefit the victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
