Rancid has announced plans to play a benefit on Saturday, November the 7th in Las Vegas for the Tony Hawk Foundation. The Stand Up For Skateparks event, sponsored by Hawk's new Tony Hawk: RIDE video game, takes place at the Wynn Las Vegas resort and is limited to 1000 guests Hawk's foundation aims to build free public skateparks in low-income communities.

Along with Rancid's performance the event will feature a very demo from Hawk and appearances from a number of skate and BMX pros, including Bucky Lasek, Andy Macdonald, Simon Tabron, Dennis McCoy, Lynz Adams Hawkins, Kevin Staab, and Jamie Bestwick. An auction and a "family-friendly action-sports carnival" will also be on site to raise funds. A pledge drive at the event has the goal of funding a skatepark in a Vegas neighbourhood.
