Corewell Health Foundation Southeast Michigan announced that Feldman Automotive Group, in partnership with event host Airstream retailer Mark Wahlberg, will once again be the title sponsor of the Feldman Automotive Children’s Miracle Celebrity Invitational.
The Feldman Automotive Group owns and operates 20 car and Airstream dealerships with 14 car brands and 33 brands in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana to their portfolio. Feldman and Wahlberg are partners in the six car and RV dealerships in Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio.
This year marks the fourth year that Feldman Automotive Group has been involved with the outing, raising over $5 million since 2021.
All the proceeds benefit Children’s Miracle Network at Corewell Heath Children’s and the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation. Some celebrity guests are now being announced for the event, which will take place Aug. 26 at the Detroit Golf Club, located at 17911 Hamilton Road in Detroit. The event includes a full day of golf on the premiere PGA course at the Detroit Golf Club and hospitality, along with a live auction with over-the-top experiences. The goal is to raise more than $1.5 million this year.
The Feldman Automotive Children’s Miracle Celebrity Invitational is Metro Detroit’s largest celebrity golf event where every foursome enjoys an up-close and personal celebrity pairing, featuring more than 50 national and local celebrities. Jay Feldman, chairman/CEO for the Feldman Automotive Group, is also part of the event committee. Not only does he play an integral role in fundraising, Feldman also generously coordinates celebrity appearances for the event.
“We teamed up with Corewell Health Children’s because my family and I deeply value giving back and helping children,” Feldman said. “It is inspiring to see so many people lending their support and contributing to our cause.”
