Salt Lake fans can see the "American Idol" runner-up Saturday at a Real Salt Lake soccer match.

He is scheduled to sing the national anthem at 7:30 p.m., before the Real Salt Lake/Colorado Rapids game, as well as sing a four-song mini-concert at the showdown's end.

The event is part of the Rio Tinto Stadium's "Charity Begins At Home" event, which will celebrate the military and the official dedication of stadium.

Proceeds from the ticket sales will benefit "Operation Warmheart," which serves Hill Air Force Base and the Utah National Guard Charitable Trust by assisting families with various expense challenges when a family member is deployed.

"I like doing things for good causes," Archuleta said about his involvement with the event. "I was contacted about it, and it sounded fun."
