“For Agassi Graf Holdings, as well as Andre and Steffi personally, it is important to be aligned not only on the commercial aspects of this business, but also with an agency that understands Andre and Steffi’s contributions to not only the Las Vegas community but also the global scope of charitable initiatives as conducted by the Foundation.  We feel Ben Shapiro and PIVOT are the ideal group of people to help us succeed, not only in business, but as representatives of our desire to help communities and foster positive social change,” says Steve Miller, CEO of Agassi Graf Holdings.
