Heyyyyyyy wooooorrrrld!!! How is everybody out there??? I know it’s cold, cold, cold. This has been a crazy winter already.
My Magic are in DC tonight to play the Wizards and we’re focused on getting a W and getting back on track. Then, we turn around and play the Hawks again on Saturday night. We’ve had so many back-to-backs lately that it’s just been crazy.
After that, we’re home one day (ONE DAY!!!) and then we head to the West Coast for the longest roadtrip of the season. It’s a crazy life, but it’s my life as a NBA player. It’s a tough stretch we’re in, but we’ve got to fight through it.
I wanted to tell you guys today about a project that some of my friends are working on and hopefully we can raise some money for charity. We are selling a lot of my game-worn and game-used shoes, jerseys and warm-up shirts on e-Bay. The money that we gets from the stuff will go to my foundation, the Dwight D. Howard Foundation, to help kids go to camp next summer. We give out scholarships to some of the kids to come to the camps in Orlando and Atlanta who might not be able to afford it otherwise.
So we need you guys to check out the stuff and see if you would be interested in any of it to buy. It’s going to a good cause and I really think you guys might be interested in the stuff we’re selling on there. I know people go crazy when I throw my shoes and jerseys into the crowd. If you’ve never gotten one of those, here is your chance.
Our seller’s name on e-Bay is DwightsStuff12. Here is the list of stuff that we have available for now:
Commander T-shirt (2)
Game One Finals Edition (right shoe)
Game Two Finals Edition (right Shoe)
Game Three Finals Edition (right shoe)
Game Four Finals Edition (right shoe)
Game Worn AST TS Commander (right shoe)
Dwight Howard Autographed Jersey Black and Blue AST NBA BOUNCE ARTI (single shoe)
Black and White TS BOUNCE COMMANDER (3 single right shoes)
Autograhped Jersey (2)
All-Star Edition Commander Dwight (right shoe)
OK, there it is. Some really tight gear if I don’t say so myself. Ya’ll check it out and put your bids in because I think the auction runs out next week. Hit me back on here and let me know what you think about the gear that we have available.
Help us out here because the money is going to a good cause. And make sure you watch us take on the Wizards tonight. Yuuuuaaaa

It’s amazing that your family is taking Infinity to L.A. to watch you play. I hope you get a chance to meet her, she wants to be in the WNBA.

Great Cause Dwight! I hope you win your game. Take care out there it is cold in Atlanta also we have snow.
Hello dwight. I love your blog! Was reading through your achieves. love it!
Hey Dwight, love the foundation. Love what you are doing; you are such a great role model. On that note, I just wanted to say I know basketball is an intense game, but when the microphones are on during the games, can you be aware that the remarks you sometimes say in the heat of the moment are a reflection of your character. You are one of the few strong witnesses we have out there, and I am just pointing that out for your benefit. Be blessed and beat the Wizards!!

Dwight if you come up with a post office box where people can order I would be glad to order unfortunately I am leery of putting credit card or bank account info on the internet.I have a po box and it is safer than my home delivery so think of all the people that would buy it if it was not over the internet.You are always giving back.I think you are a wonderful person.Yes the weather is terrible.I have been driving in this for 23 years since I was 17 but I still don’t like it.I know you call Anthony dad so what would you call me Grandma!!You just try to still look as young as me when you are 40.Be good sweetness.
Great Cause I must say also boo good luck I hope you raise even more $$$ then last year and the year before:) Best wishes to you God bless and good luck tonight!!!!
Welcome to DC!

and wow your schedule is crazyy!! Well, that’s what you get for being so good
YOU ARE AN AMAZING PERSON WITH EVERYTHING YOU DO TO HELP PEOPLE OUT!!!!!!!!! I LOVE U DWIGHT HOWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your charity is great Dwight, but I am not use to this losing thing. I don’t know what’s wrong with our team lately. Is is coaching or bad feelings with each other. I am so disappointed I have to say, you don’t come out as happy as you used to. Oh well, I believe in Magic and I will continue to support out team
absolutely love this concept, I will most def check it out. God Bless with all the games to come.
Love ya,
Mecca Ali
Hi Dwight, thanks for the information. I have a reservation in the computer lab Monday for two hours, I’ll check it out.
Love U
wat, listen i am your biggest fan in the 8th grade and i know this has nothin to do with your auction but im just wondering if u can help get to the nba from highschool like be a trainer you know?
Helping kids is a very important cause because kids need someone to look up to, and I know for sure that you will benefit from the generosity of many of your followers. It is unfortunate that I can not say congratulate you for a Wizard victory, but I can say that although I missed that game there is always a chance for redemption and you will definitely have a chance to hustle for a win. At that time win or lose I’ll be there with you spiritually rooting you on. Keep being you and I will continue to love the way you present yourself and play the game.
Hey– not auction related, but if Dwight could post on his F.B I just nomintated him for a “Shorty Award” ( kind of funny for such a big guy) for Twitter users… he needs more votes that mine

DEAR DWIGHT,
I’M SURE YOU’VE HEARD ABOUT THE TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE THAT STRUCK HAITI. PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN TO ASSIST IN THE RELIEF EFFORT FOR HAITI.
I’M SURE THE HAITIAN COMMUNITY/FANS IN ORLANDO, MIAMI AND ALL AROUND THE WORLD WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE WHATEVER YOU CAN POSSIBLY DO. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT NBA CARES CAN ALSO GET INVOLVED AND HELP IN THE RELIEF EFFORT AS WELL. WE NEED YOUR HELP!
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND ASSISTANCE! GOD BLESS!!!!!
