THE MISSION OF LAUREUS Laureus is a global movement harnessing the universal power of sport to bring people together as a force for good. The combined elements of Laureus present a unique entity that supports and showcases the work of the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. The Laureus World Sports Academy is an unprecedented collection of the world’s legendary athletes. They select the winners of the Laureus World Sports Awards and act as global ambassadors for the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, volunteering their time to visit projects in order to draw attention to the problems afflicting society. The members of the Academy share a belief in the power of sport to break down barriers, to bring people together and improve their lives. The Laureus Sport for Good Foundation is an innovative charitable initiative that uses the positive influence of sport to tackle society’s most pressing challenges around the globe, supporting projects on five continents. The vision of the Foundation, as defined by Laureus Patron Nelson Mandela, is ‘Sport has the power to change the world.’ Its mission is to use the power of sport to address social challenges through the support of sports-related community development initiatives, using sport as a tool for social change. Projects worldwide have improved the lives of over 750 000 children through the support of the Global Foundation and a growing network of eight subsidiary foundations in Argentina, France, Germany, Italy, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland and the United States. * Vodafone, the world’s leading international mobile communications group will be supporting Laureus as a Global Partner from 2008. The Laureus Sport for Good Foundation is supported by Founding Patrons Daimler and Richemont, and their designated Founding Partners brands Mercedes- Benz and IWC Schaffhausen who provide funding and support.* It is also supported by Global Corporate Supporter ICAP. The Laureus Sport for Good Foundation is championed by a growing number of Laureus Friends & Ambassadors around the globe who have joined the members of the Academy as ambassadors and spokespeople of the Foundation’s work. The Laureus World Sports Awards is the premier global sports awards honouring the greatest sportsmen and women across all sports each year. The Awards is a platform to showcase and generate support for the Foundation’s social programmes and the work of the Academy. The winners are selected by the ultimate sports jury – the 43 members of the Academy, the living legends of sport honouring the greatest athletes of today. Each year the Laureus Sport for Good Award is presented to an individual (or group) who have used the fundamental beliefs that underscore the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation as the inspiration for their work and have made an outstanding contribution to society through the medium of sport and in so doing have made a difference to the lives of young people in local communities. As Edwin Moses, Chairman of the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation says: ‘Everyone at Laureus shares a common belief that sport is a universal language which has the power to speak to people across the globe, whatever their colour or creed.
