David Beckham has once again shown his generous spirit by joining forces with basketball legend Dwyane Wade.
Along with other celebrities, they pledged their support for a noble cause in Miami.
DAVID BECKHAM GIVES BACK
The star-studded event, Reserve Padel’s inaugural Moonlight Open, aims to raise funds for cancer patients battling leukaemia. It takes place at the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Centre .
The fundraiser honours professional padel player Charlie Moon, a four-time cancer survivor now fighting leukaemia for the fifth time, according to Page Six.
Moon shared a heartfelt message: “Padel has truly saved my life. It’s given me strength, purpose and community during the hardest battles of my life. Every day is a gift.
When I play, I don’t care about winning or losing – I’m just grateful to be on the court, alive.” His words resonate deeply, highlighting the power of sport to inspire hope.
DAVID BECKHAM CALLS FOR DONATIONS
Beckham took to Instagram to urge his fans to donate. He described the upcoming evening as “an incredible night of padel, community and giving back.”
The event, held at Reserve Miami Seaplane, promises thrilling padel matches featuring top-ranked players like Agustín Tapia alongside an exciting pro-am tournament.
Wayne Boich, founder of Reserve Padel and a driving force behind the charity arm Reserve Cares, expressed his connection to the cause.
“My parents, who both had their battles with cancer, always taught me that success means nothing if you don’t use it to lift others. You do well, so you can do good,” he said.

Boich hopes to raise over $1 million (approximately R19 million) to support cancer research and treatment.
The fundraiser has already garnered significant support.
