Milwaukee Wave News Release


MILWAUKEE (Feb. 26, 2008) -- David Beckham.

Of all the active athletes in the world, none moves the needle quite like the handsome Englishman with the pop star wife and the unparalleled ability to curl a soccer ball. He's a one-name icon, one nickname, really - just "Becks," the $250 million man of the Los Angeles Galaxy, the English national team and Hollywood.

Last week in Los Angeles, Beckham autographed the fender on the Milwaukee Wave of Kindness Harley-Davidson. He was joined by Alexi Lalas and Cobi Jones, both former members of the U.S. national team, and other members of the Galaxy.

"We're grateful to Alexi Lalas and the Galaxy for helping arrange this signature for our bike," said , director of public relations for the Wave. "This project is all about bringing soccer to a new audience, and nobody's doing that more right now than David Beckham himself."

Beckham's signature puts perhaps the two best-known soccer players of all time together on the bike. Brazilian great Pele signed the bike back on Dec. 1, and they are just two of the more than two dozen individuals to have aided this charity project.

All season long, fans can buy raffle tickets to win the 2008 Sportster XL 883 that has been painted a special Milwaukee Wave blue and will be autographed by various celebrities throughout the winter. Tickets are $1 each or six for $5 and can be purchased online at www.milwaukeewave.com and at all Milwaukee Wave games.

The winning ticket will be drawn at the Major Indoor Soccer League championship game on April 26 at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

Raffle proceeds will benefit Wave of Kindness, a nonprofit organization that brings soccer to inner-city youth through camp scholarships, game tickets, clinics and more. For more information on Wave of Kindness, visit www.milwaukeewave.com and click on the Wave of Kindness link.

Suburban Motors of Thiensville is the Wave's partner on this project.
