David Beckham to play charity game
(Source) David Beckham will play in a Nov 4 match to raise funds for the relief effort following this week's Southern California wildfires. All proceeds, including donations collected on the day of the match at the Home Depot Center in Carson, will be given to the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army, the Galaxy said on Friday.
The LA Galaxy will play Hollywood United. The Hollywood lineup is expected to include actors Anthony LaPaglia, Jimmy Jean-Louis, Costas Mandylor; musicians Steve Jones and Vivian Campbell; and former World Cup players Frank Leboeuf, Richard Gough, Joe-Max Moore and Eric Wynalda. Former Galaxy standouts Lalas and Mauricio Cienfuegos also are set to play
General admission will be $20 on a first-come, first-served basis, with a limited number of luxury seats for $60 each. Firefighters will be assured free admission by showing their badges at the stadium box office beginning on Monday. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased through the Galaxy at 877-3GALAXY or online at www.lagalaxy.com and www.ticketmaster.com
Becks and the Galaxy will begin training again next Thursday to prepare for their Nov. 7 exhibition game in Vancouver, British Columbia, the first of four upcoming exhibition matches. For more details see the LA Galaxy exhibitions post.

Awesome news on the charity game. Any word on whether it will be televised anywhere? (Seems like it'd be a really "sexy" event for media/broadcasting companies, with actors -and- Galaxy -and- charity for the fires!)

Speaking of Charity matches I read somewhere that Zidane and Ronaldo were going to invite him to the match against Poverty next month but I think it clashes with the England games but it would be nice if he could go to that and see his old friends from RM but England needs him more!

Thanks for keeping an eye out! I think it'd be a really fun and exciting game, certainly a nice way to wind down after the tension of the end of MLS season. Cross fingers for TV somewhere...maybe radio if nothing else.
