Venus Williams

 

Five-time Wimbledon® champion Venus Williams is not only a tennis legend, she’s also a musician, demonstrating how music transcends all worlds and challenges even the greatest athlete to learn, create and innovate. That’s why Venus is doing her part to advocate on behalf of The Foundation and rallying the online community to get involved and donate to support music in our schools.

Watch Venus’ personal video messages about her role as an Ambassador and what music means to her and why she joined the First Make Music, Then Make History campaign featuring The Fray, Natasha Bedingfield, Beyoncé, Ne-Yo, Chris Webber, Jamie Foxx, Johnny Rzeznick 3 Doors Down, Gavin DeGraw and Tamia to raise awareness and funds for VH1 Save The Music.

Please share your own thoughts in response about how music inspires and challenges you, and make your own personal fundraising pledge on Facebook or make a donation online to help VH1 Save The Music restore instrumental music education programs in our nation’s schools.
