Many athletes talk about leaving a charitable or philanthropic legacy. Few athletes have their names attached to groundbreaking legislation.

In Florida recently, the Alonzo Mourning Access to Care Act went into effect. The law expands insurance coverage for kidney transplants. Alonzo Mourning already had a monumental list of accomplishments on and off the basketball court – from NBA Championship to kidney transplant survivor. Now he has a lasting legacy that will alter the way Florida insurance carriers treat patients with renal disease.    

  A sports agent or firm with a sports a law practice cannot guarantee you will get a law named after you(!), but can certainly help you set up a philanthropic giving program.
