WHAT: DaimlerChrysler Services North America will sponsor the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy (Agassi Prep) on Jan. 26 at the 2005 Chrysler Financial Field Sales Meeting in Las Vegas. DaimlerChrysler Services' field employees will use this opportunity to test their team building skills by building bicycles for local students at Agassi Prep.

DaimlerChrysler Services North America is donating bicycles and helmets to all 300 children who attend Agassi Prep as a reward for their commitment to academic excellence and their continued dedication to their education. One hundred of those students will be given their bicycles at the event and will ride in a bicycle parade.

Agassi Prep is a model charter school for socio-economically challenged youth, designed to foster innovation and excellence in education. Focusing on technology and college preparation, the Academy's goal is to enhance performance among at-risk students, reduce dropout rates, introduce students to cultural activities and involve them in community affairs. Agassi Prep is funded by the Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation, a public charity created to provide recreational and educational opportunities for at-risk boys and girls.
