Yao posted this on his Facebook page today:

I am looking forward to my charity gala this Sunday in Houston. I am inviting my teammates. Putting the gala in the Houston Museum in an interesting idea. Hopefully our guests will have an unforgettable night there. There will be an auction. It’s not just me signing jerseys. We’ll have auctions of other players in other sports.

For the past couple of years our people have been working so hard to helping those kids who lost their school during the earthquake, but also here during Hurricane Ike. We’re try to rebuild those schools in China and in Houston. We were pretty successful last year but we still need to add more equipment.

Here’s a link to Yao’s Foundation page promoting the event. I understand tickets are still available.
