Holly Robinson Peete’s Mega Charity Super Bowl Events
Actress Holly Robinson Peete and her husband, Rodney Peete are pulling out all the stops when it comes to throwing some mega Super Bowl parties to benefit charity. The former NFL quarterback and TV host is one half of the power couple that own a magnificent estate in Phoenix. Rockridge Estates will be a happening place from Thursday through Super Bowl Sunday.
Following his retirement from football, Peete became one of the hosts of Fox Sports talk show The Best Damn Sports Show. Holly Peete is an actress, singer and author. She published two books in 2006; Get Your Own Damn Beer, I’m Watching the Game! and A Woman’s Guide to Pro Football.
Private parties include the crew from The Best Damn Super Bowl Party Period featuring rapper Ludacris. There will be a live concert by Chris Rock and a huge celebrity party hosted by actress Jenny McCarthy. The palatial home will be open to guests who are willing to purchase tickets ranging from $300 to $1,000.
The residence can hold up to 2,000 people for any of the planned events. People will be shuttled to the remote location in an attempt to stay in the good graces of the neighbors, who have also thoughtfully been invited.
The Peete’s are hoping to raise a great deal of money for their Hollyrod Foundation, established in 1992. For the past nine years, the couple has hosted a party in whatever host city the Super Bowl landed, with proceeds going to their foundation. They have raised anywhere from $250,000 to $2 million in previous years.
The Hollyrod Foundation provides medical, physical and emotional support for those suffering from debilitating life circumstances, including Parkinson’s Disease. Another charity that will benefit from the weekend events will be Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center. The Peete’s oldest son has autism.
The difference this year is that the venue is their personal home. The Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home sits on 12 acres, complete with it’s own 18 hole executive golf course and a brook with waterfalls. The home is scarcely seen from passersby, and most people aren’t aware of it’s presence. That is likely to change after this weekend.
