Jay-Z Designs Arthur Ashe T-Shirt for Charity

September 4, 2009

Rap mogul Jay-Z has designed a T-shirt with the image of tennis great Arthur Ashe that will be sold during the US Open to benefit the Arthur Ashe Endowment for the Defeat of AIDS and the US Tennis Association's National Junior Tennis and Learning. Ashe co-founded NJTL, which this year is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe, widow of the three-time Grand Slam winner, said she is "thrilled that someone of Jay-Z's stature would take part in this project." Ashe, who died of AIDS-related complications in 1993, is slated for induction into the US Open Court of Champions on Sept. 10.
