We are proud to share the 12th annual MJ&M fundraiser held in Austin April 25-26th, was a massive success! We took over Austin and brought together hearts and voices for JKL and 4 other children’s charities. Headlined by the incomparable grammy-winning Luke Combs, our gala was a celebration of music and philanthropy. The fashion show, sponsored by long-time supporters Neiman Marcus and featuring Oscar de la Renta was stunning and featured some of our JKL kids as volunteers sharing their stories. We ended on a high note with our singer-songwriter night, Jack and Friends, featuring so many incredible artists. We are overflowing with gratitude for another incredible year of MJ&M, all in the name of empowering kids!
Stay tuned for more information regarding MJ&M 2025!
Alright Alright Alright! Year 11 of Mack, Jack & McConaughey in the books! Mack, Jack & McConaughey (MJ&M) is the annual joint fundraising effort of Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey, ACM Award-winning recording artist Jack Ingram, and ESPN analyst and Texas coaching legend Mack Brown.
What better way to kick off an epic few days than with a special performance by the legendary Garth Brooks! The LIVE auction was record-setting, raising over $7M! Then onto a fun day of golf, and a stunning fashion show from the fabulous Jonathan Simkhai presented by Neiman Marcus and hosted by supermodel Molly Sims. Simkhai’s designs were breathtaking, as was the setting, with lovely views of downtown Austin from the Long Center for the Performing Arts. We wrapped things up with an array of talented performances at our Jack & Friends Singer/Songwriter night! Artists like Butch Walker, Lee Ann Womack, Jessi Alexander & Jon Randall, William Beckmann, Blu Sanders, Rhett Akins, Hayes Carll and incredible newcomer Kameron Marlowe donated their time and talent to end this year’s event on a high note – so to speak!
Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the event. It’s an honor to be a charitable beneficiary of the event, along with the incredible organizations Cure Duchenne, Dell Children’s, HeartGift Foundation, and The Rise School. Until next year, MJ&M!
