Michael once again gave his time and amazing talent along with other artists to support the very worthy Ray Thomas Foundation, a children’s charity event in Cabo. The gala was held beachside at the beautiful Hotel Casa Dorada.

The funds raised in this year’s event are earmarked for the GART’s first fully funded kitchen in the Los Cabos community. This brand new kitchen, which accompanies the sports and activities programs in Leonardo Gastelum’s Elementary School, is located on the outskirts of Cabo San Lucas. With the success of the Champagne Jam as an annual event, the foundation plans to reach out to many more schools and students in need of their programs in the near future.

Michael killer rendition of “Proud Mary”!!

The Ray Thomas Foundation..wonderful work!!

…way to rock Cabo MJ and next stop Cancun!

Some of the performances were from Lionel Ritchie, Rascal Flatts, Jackie Evancho, Rita Wilson (wife of Tom Hanks) and again this year, our favourite and shining star, Michael!!

Michael and Rita performed “ALL I DO IS DREAM” by The Everly Brothers..just WOW!!! I wonder how many of us would have given our eye teeth to hear that! I can imagine it was absolutely amazing!

All of the fans are so proud of Michael for again supporting and giving his time and talent to this wonderful charity event…just one of the many reasons why we all love him.
We hope that this year’s event raised a ton of money!!

Michael recently participated in the 2-day Liberty Cup Charity Golf Tournament event in Jersey City, NY. Looks like it was such a great time and a very good cause.  Not sure how his golf game was, but for sure his performance was amazing as always!

LPGA champion Cristie Kerr hosted the inaugural Liberty Cup Charity Golf Tournament at PhD at the Dream Downtown hotel. The evening served as a pre-party for today’s golfing tournament featuring LPGA and PGA players, as well as celebrities like Kyle MacLachlan , Ray Allen, Andy North, and Michael Johns, who will be teeing off to Benefit Birdies for Breast Cancer.

Cristie founded the Birdies for Breast Cancer Foundation in 2003 and has raised over $1million for breast cancer organizations, including the founding of the Cristie Kerr Women’s Health Center at Jersey City Medical Center. After playing 18 holes of golf today, guests will continue the party with dinner, an awards ceremony and the Caesars Celebrity Poker Tournament.
