On Tuesday, David Archuleta, Murray's "American Idol," dropped by the West Jordan branch of the Cyprus Credit Union to accept a $50,000 donation for his charity, David vs. Goliath, dedicated to fighting Multiple Sclerosis.
The young singing star supports dozens of causes, but finds working to end MS "touching," because he has watched family friends live with the disease.
Archuleta, who is touring this summer with Disney's Demi Lovato, will sing the national anthem before the Real Salt Lake's match with Colorado on June 6, and will perform after the game. The performance is part of the Rio Tinto Stadium's "Charity Begins at Home" event, benefiting "Hill Air Force Base's "Operation Warmheart."
