education is my life. that's a lot of love. education is my life. i figureed out other way to do things. i amraised $175 million of philanthropic dollars and with b-20 we came out with a line of grocery stores that 100% of the proceeds goes to education and the opportunity to get the entire country involved. it will be on the shelves next to other things that you buy for your children. when you see my face, see that seal of approval, be assured that this is going to all go to education. and i'm hoping the whole country can get involved in this battle. >> i will tell you what. when you are just sitting around floating around the internet, do a search for the andre agassi foundation for education and you can educate yourself on what andre is doing. let's talk abouted box buddies.
