The Warburton Celebrity Golf Tournament

The love of golf and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital brought together actor Patrick Warburton and tournament chairman Clarke Rheney. As teammates at the 2010 Schultz Celebrity Golf Classic, the pair dreamed up an event to blend Patrick’s popularity as a celebrity with Clarke’s deep-rooted knowledge of how to successfully operate golf tournaments. The Coachella Valley desert, with its spectacular surroundings and some of the most revered weather in the country, would become the perfect backdrop.

The tournament has raised more than $26.5 million for St. Jude. Over the years, the event has continued to grow to include one-of-a-kind music events such as the Songwriters Night – the stories behind the stories of some of country’s greatest songs – as well as a rock variety show known as The Rheneypalooza Jam, an evening of hits performed by rock and roll legends.
