Another amazing year of The Warburton!
I was thrilled to HOST and perform again at the Saturday Soiree this year.
This has been the best Warburton yet, as we “party with a purpose” benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
The Saturday Soiree truly celebrated St. Jude and inspired so many to open hearts and give so generously.
We got to meet St. Jude patient, Tyler, and his mom, Michelle. Tyler has had a very special friendship with Patrick Warburton.
Michelle tearfully shared how Patrick’s video messages and emails got Tyler through some of the hardest times during his treatment and they’ve continued to stay in touch and remain close. Tyler even challenged Patrick to a rib-eating contest at Central BBQ in Memphis (both Patrick and Tyler claimed to have won!).
We got to take part in a “No More Chemo” party for Tyler just like they do at the hospital – and colorful streamers were shot throughout the room as part of the celebration during the “No More Chemo” song!
Perhaps the most exciting part of the night was the Live Auction and Give to Live fundraising efforts. Both the Live and Silent Auctions exceeded what was raised last year! Guests were then treated once again to great music by SIXWIRE and Friends, including performances by Charles Esten, Robin Meade, Christian Kane, Kevin Rahm and even Patrick Warburton!
The audience was moved and blown away by Javier Colon’s rendition of “Hallelujah.” It’s no wonder why he won The Voice! A special thank you to Sandi Young at Shakti Warriors for sponsoring the Saturday Soiree.
Robin, I bet you stole the show!
