How often do celebrities (not famous for playing that sport) in your country play sports for charity, and how often such events are televised? (Footballers playing football for charity don't count, but a pro player of a different sport counts)

In Italy some professional singers founded a "national team" (Nazionale Italiana Cantanti) and every year since 1992 they play a televised charity game against a team belonging to a category (comedians, F1 pilots, referees…) or made of assorted celebrities. Occasionally a few retired footballers may show up to spice up the match.

The latest of those matches was a couple days ago: the Singers (orange) played the Politicians (blue) plus a "neutral" retired pro who's available to the trailing team to balance the game. Highlights are here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxn7vpVHdYA
