The 13th Annual Mack, Jack & McConaughey Fundraiser!

This year’s Mack, Jack & McConaughey (MJ&M) was record-breaking! Over $19 million was raised to benefit the just keep livin Foundation and four remarkable partner beneficiaries: CureDuchenne, Dell Children’s Medical Center, HeartGift, and The Rise School of Austin. We are honored to stand beside these inspiring groups in our shared mission to empower children.

The festivities kicked off Thursday evening at Austin City Limits Live at The Moody Theater with the ever-popular MJ&M Gala. Guests enjoyed a sophisticated cocktail reception, a gourmet dinner, moving tributes, and an exciting live auction. The evening reached its peak with a powerhouse performance by country music icon Eric Church, who captivated the Texas crowd with his energy and emotion.

Friday began in high style with a New York-inspired runway show presented by Neiman Marcus, featuring a stunning collection by acclaimed designer Carolina Herrera. Hosted by MJ&M co-founder Camila McConaughey and Sally Brown, the show offered guests a front-row look at the latest haute couture while spotlighting the event’s philanthropic purpose.

That evening, the beloved Jack & Friends concert brought an unforgettable close to the celebration, once again at The Moody Theater. The intimate, unscripted format featured moving performances by Miranda Lambert, Ryan Bingham, and Lukas Nelson, each artist bringing their unique voice to the stage in support of a worthy cause.

Now in its 13th year, MJ&M continues to blend entertainment, fashion, and philanthropy, proving that when a community comes together, great things happen for kids. We can’t wait to see what next year brings!
