CHRIS EVERT
l

Chris Evert is recognized around the world as one of the greatest women tennis players of all time. She devotes her energy to promoting health, medical and fitness related causes, and is a dynamic force in bringing these messages to the public.

Chris mixes selected TV appearances and productions with her work on an incredible array of charitable causes and foundations. These are initiatives that she herself started, or that she has associated herself with because of their fine work:

• Chris Evert Charities
• Save the Children
• American AIDS Association
• Make-A-Wish Foundation
• Women's Sports Foundation
• The Don Shula Foundation for Breast Cancer Research
• National Committee to Prevent Child Abuse
• The Buoniconti Fund

Chris Evert Charities was founded by Chris in 1989 and has raised over $9 million to combat substance abuse and help abused children.

She was appointed by President George Bush in January 1991 and served as a Board Member of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.

Chris is terrific in front of the camera as a host and commentator, hosting or appearing on programs as diverse as "Saturday Night Live", to health related television specials. She has hosted a "Women's Health Series" addressing women of all ages and topics such as reproductive health, women and cancer, and a healthy heart, and also hosted a network special on Osteoporosis.

The energy to pursue such an active professional and progressive social role undoubtedly comes from her amazing athletic career as one of the top women tennis players in history. Her accolades in tennis are too numerous to list here, but to name just a few:

Ranked #1 in the world for 7 years.
.904 win average over her 17 year pro career
18 Grand Slam singles titles - third best in history, man or woman.

Definitely the model of an active working mother, Chris is married to former Olympic downhill skier, Andy Mill. They have three sons, Alexander, Nicholas and Colton. Andy is now a broadcaster, working for NBC, ABC, ESPN and Outdoor Life Network.

Chris is ideally suited to help television viewers in maintaining their health and well being as the host of "Today's Health".
