Through "The Thierry Henry Challenge", Goldman Sachs Gives will contribute $5,000 to Grassroot Soccer each time Henry scores a goal, and $2,500 each time he makes an assist during the 2013 MLS season.
Investment bank Goldman Sachs have been careful not to go too overboard, in case Henry decides to score 30 goals in the next two months, and have put a cap of $150,000 on the agreement.
"Grassroot Soccer is all about using role models and the power of soccer to motivate and educate young people on how to live healthy lives," said Gregg Lemkau, Goldman Sachs Managing Director and GRS Global Board member in a statement.
"Thierry Henry is not only a soccer star but a great role model for young people around the world. Goldman Sachs Gives and GRS are excited to turn his skills on the field into tangible life skills for young people."
Henry will be looking to send Grassroot Soccer their first $5,000 this Saturday when the Red Bulls take on strugglers the Columbus Crew.
Last season, Henry scored 15 goals for the Red Bulls, and he has already found the back of the net six times in 13 appearances this season.
