"Bowling with Stu" set for Sunday, Dec. 20

Hi everyone,

This Sunday, Dec. 20, I am hosting a fun event called “Bowling with Stu” at Palace Lanes in Houston. A portion of the proceeds will benefit “Holden’s Heroes,” a charity I’m starting that is designed to bring happiness to sick children.

In addition to three hours of bowling (2:30-5:30 p.m.), each person will also receive a limited-edition Stuart Holden scarf (pictured below). Also Chicken Kitchen will be catering the event.

We’ll also have silent auction where you can bid on some valuable items like one of my 2008 Olympics jerseys or one of my Dynamo jerseys. I’ll also have some lower priced options too so everyone can participate. You can even bid on the bowling shirt that I’ll be wearing on Sunday!

We’re going to have some different fun contests during the afternoon where people can win Stuart Holden bowling pins (really).

In order to help out some homeless people in Houston, we’re also asking people to donate some of their lightly-worn shoes. We will give the shoes to Star of Hope who will then distribute the shoes those in need. I’ve set a goal of 500 pairs of shoes, many of which are coming from my closet! Each pair of shoes that you bring will enter you into a raffle where the prize is dinner with me!

Inspired by the shoe drive, Mary Hunt, a student at Santa Fe High School, has set a goal to collect 100 coats to donate to Star of Hope! Thanks Mary!

If you are not able to attend, please consider buying a spot for a kid in Texas Children’s Hospital. I visited the kids there today (in my elf costume) and they are very excited about the opportunity.

Thanks everybody and I hope to see you on Sunday!!!

World Cup draw, Charlie Davies, and the Jefferson Award

Hey everyone!  Well first off I’d just like to start by telling everyone about my upcoming “Bowling with Stu” party on December 20^th.  This is an event I am really excited about and have been planning for a couple weeks now, so make sure you get signed up as soon as possible as the slots are filling up quickly! I don’t want to be embarrassed on the lane, so I may or may not have been practicing in my spare time (wink!)

You can find all the details on my website www.stuholden.com !

Well I am currently on a plane to DC for the World Cup draw and the unveiling of adidas’s new World Cup soccer ball, which I am really excited to see.  The event will be taking place at Union Station and the ball is actually already there in a massive Christmas box, so anyone that can make it out and be a part of the festivities will have gained some major bonus points in my books!

From DC I am taking a train to Delaware to hang out with my roommate and best friend Charlie Davies!  As I’m sure you all know, Charlie and I are really close and this will be the first time I’ve seen him since his car accident in October so its going to be a great couple of days!  From Delaware, I am taking a plane to the Big Apple, NYC!!  Now New York is one of my favorite cities in the US because there are just so many things to do and I love the atmosphere in and around Manhattan!

The New York trip is to attend the luncheon for the Jefferson Award.  Now before I tell you a little more about the activities that are planned while we are there, I really want to thank everyone that voted for me and supported me for this award.  They will be narrowing it down to to finalists on Tuesday, but I have been so honored to be a part of the final 10 for such a prestigious award.

On Tuesday morning we are scheduled to ring the bell on the NASDAQ, so for all you early birds out there make sure you are tuned in!  This is going to be a pretty cool experience, because I have never been on Wall Street and amongst all the trading and it is something that really interests me.  I started investing a couple years ago and it has really become something I pay a lot of attention to (It is my money after all! haha), so this will be a an awesome experience.

The rest of my trip will be mostly be dedicated to leisure and doing some shopping in and around NYC, so if you are around Soho or 5^th Ave, let me know!!!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and is gearing up for the great holiday season! Talk to you soon,

Stu
