not travel. Her foundation is open year round, fundraises for donations to continue providing programs for long term care and a better quality of life to children with cancer and children in need. The first contributor was John McEnroe. Many high-profile celebrities were involved due to respecting Jaeger’s lifetime commitment to helping children with cancer and children in need, including Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, David Robinson, Cindy Crawford, David Foster and Kevin Costner. In 1996, Jaeger received the Samuel S. Beard Award for Greatest Public Service by an Individual 35 Years or Under, an award given annually by Jefferson Awards. Jaeger's autobiography, First Service, was published in 2004. In the book, she discussed her teenage years as a tennis player and her lifetime friendship with God and focus on serving God. All proceeds from the book were donated to children's charities. Jaeger’s Children’s Foundation was renamed ‘Little Star Foundation’, giving tribute to children who have passed and are still alive, especially giving tribute to Rhea Olsen, a teenager with cancer from Chicago. Olsen became best friends with Jaeger and became the first ever paid employee of the Foundation. Jaeger helped Olsen for years before the teen passed on from cancer. In 2006, Jaeger exchanged gifts with an Army Ranger serving in the Iraq War. Jaeger knew the boy since his cancer diagnosis and through her foundation had helped the boy through his cancer by providing support through her foundation. He gave her his dog tags, and she gave him her Olympic ring. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, Jaeger’s Foundation provided food, medical, daily, educational and recreational supplies and support to help. In April 2007, Jaeger and several former athletes, including Andre Agassi, Lance Armstrong, Tony Hawk, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and Muhammad Ali, appeared on the American morning television talk show Good Morning America to announce their formation of a charity titled Athletes for Hope.
