As many of you know, we were two of the Executive Chairs of the Grassroot Soccer event held last night, along with Gillian Hearst Simonds and Christian Simonds. Grassroot Soccer was founded by Ethan Zohn (former Survivor winner) and supports AIDS education in Africa. The celebrations began yesterday with an All-Star soccer match in Chinatown, and then moved on to Marquee for the evening's festivities.

If you're free for lunch come on down to Chinatown, and watch lots of cute guys run around in shorts! (if you like that kind of stuff - Rachelle and the interns left me in the office to go watch). The soccer match is between Grassroot Soccer UNITED v. Hollywood United FC, marking the halfway point of Ethan Zohn's journey from Boston to NY (while dribbling a soccer ball!) to raise awareness for Grassroots Soccer.  The teams will consist of:

• Mark Consuelos (television and film actor)
• Sean Evans (writer -Rush and Molloy, Daily News)
