Jewels and Pinstripes created Celebrity and VIP Bags for one of the largest charity events in the country. Since 1995, the Andre Agassi Grand Slam for Children event has raised over $52 million, of which every penny goes directly to benefit underprivileged, abused or at-risk children in the Las Vegas community. The 10th Grand Slam for Children, presented by Genworth Financial, took place on October 1, 2005 and raised over 10.1million dollars. The superstar line-up included Mary J.
