Mark Wahlberg Heads Star-Studded Charity Event in Detroit
DETROIT – The Feldman Auto Children’s Miracle Network Celebrity Invitational, a highly anticipated annual charity event, has once again drawn big names and a passionate crowd. This year, actor and philanthropist Mark Wahlberg took the spotlight, emphasizing the importance of giving back to the community. “We tell our successful friends to dig deep for an amazing cause,” Wahlberg remarked, highlighting the event’s profound impact.
Jay Feldman, Chairman and CEO of Feldman Automotive, noted the loyal support from sponsors and celebrities over the years. “They say this is the best event they do all year,” Feldman stated, reflecting on the continuing success and growth of the initiative. Over the past five years, the tournament at the Detroit Golf Club has raised more than $6 million for Corewell Health Children’s and the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation, aimed at making a difference in the lives of local kids.
The event sees a diverse mix of star power, from sports legends to entertainment icons, creating an uplifting atmosphere focused on the resilience of children. “For me, everything we do is about giving back and inspiring others,” said Wahlberg, whose commitment to the cause remains steadfast.
Among beneficiaries is Kennedy Shallal, a young cancer survivor who found solace in therapy dogs during her treatment. Reuniting with Millie, the golden retriever that helped her through tough times, Kennedy’s mother, Cristina Shallal, reflected on the profound difference support has made for her family.
Wahlberg’s dedication to the children of Michigan continues to shine as he witnesses their journeys from adversity to thriving success. “It’s amazing to see them really thriving,” he concluded, encapsulating the event’s spirit of hope and community.
