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!
