For the third year in a row, Window World, America’s largest replacement window and home remodeling company, was the national presenting sponsor of the St. Jude Presents John Rich & Friends Concert, held on Tuesday, June 3.
The following day, Window World was the title sponsor of the Window World Pro-Am at the 57th annual FedEx St. Jude Classic PGA TOUR event at TPC Southwind. Both events benefitted St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
The St. Jude Presents John Rich & Friends Concert was a moving evening of music, hope and inspiration, featuring talent from John Rich, Big & Rich, Clint Black, Randy Houser, Deana Carter, Cowboy Troy and a surprise appearance by Robby Krieger, guitarist for The Doors. A live auction was also held, with proceeds going to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude.
The festivities continued Wednesday at TPC Southwind with the Window World Pro-Am Tournament. More than 350 amateur and professional golfers were paired to field teams of four, with pro Harry English with team members Dan Mullally, Jackie Drake, Jim Sweeney and Tino Martinez taking the No. 1 spot with a score of 53. Spectators were on hand to watch the action, as well as witness the Window World “Art from the Heart” event. Throughout the afternoon, 13 St. Jude patients hand-painted messages of hope on specially-constructed windows at the 11th hole. The window art will be auctioned off later this year at Window World’s annual national sales meeting, with 100% of the proceeds to benefit the hospital.
“This week is an opportunity for many groups, including country stars, PGA TOUR players, the Window World Family and friends of St. Jude to interact with patients and come together in support of the great work the hospital does every day for these children,” said Tammy Whitworth, CEO of Window World.
