August 17th, 2009 Heineken with a Heart Event at the US Open
The US Open is more about just tennis. There is a considerable effort and amount of events that go way beyond the US Open tennis scores. They do a good amount of work with their green initiatives, to make sure that the tennis tournament does not put too much hurt on the environment. They have put recycling receptacles all over the tournament and have really made a commitment to making the tournament eco-friendly. They also hold the annual Taste of Tennis event. That event brings together tennis stars and star chefs for a night to benefit the Food Bank of New York City. The Heineken with a Heart event is a social event that has been created to benefit local charities. The event will cost fifty dollars to attend.
The emcees of the event are Eric Maibus of the ABC show “Ugly Betty” and Matthew Settle of the CW show “Gossip Girl”. The evening comes equipped with free appetizers, silent auctions and all the cold Heineken and Heineken Light you can drink of course!
The event will take place on the grounds of the US Open tennis tournament on Tuesday August 25, 2009 from seven to nine thirty at night. This event is a 21 and over event because of the beer sponsorship. Heineken has teamed up with USTA serves which is the charitable leg of the United States Tennis Association. So it is part of the festivities of the US Open tennis tournaments. They are holding the event as one that takes place before the open begins. You don’t have to attend the event to donate either. You can log on to the US Open website where you can buy tickets, or donate to the cause. No matter what you decide to do you will be making a difference. It’s a great way to have a slice of the US Open tennis experience.
The US Open will be interesting on the women’s side because it could be the chance for Safina to prove that she deserves that number one world ranking. We shall see what comes of the event. The women’s side may not be getting has much press as the men’s side because there are just not a lot of recognizable names at the top.
