Created from Commissioner Leonard Armato's vision and belief that the Tour and its players should dedicate themselves to the community, AVPCares was created in 2002 to serve as the AVP's charitable arm. With four successful years behind it, AVPCares will continue in 2006 to conduct a series of awareness campaigns and fundraising events in an effort to support various programs and organizations that also serve to improve the lives of the youth of America.
