Inaugural Champions Dinner Fundraiser recognizes two H-Town Golfers; Photo Gallery
Midway through the month of April, a brand new fundraiser, known as the Champions Dinner, was established to finance the distribution of Kids Meals across the city of Houston and beyond.
At said event, which featured the menu of Masters Champion Jon Rahm, the night's proceedings acknowledged the exceptional talents of two Houston high school golfers -- Charlie Wylie (Memorial) & Brielle Burns (St. John's).

Wylie and Burns were both honored as the high school senior male and female golfers of the year at the Lakeside Country Club, given the considerable prowess they've displayed on the golf course throughout their four years, which has garnered them the opportunity to continue their careers on the collegiate level.
Memorial's Charlie Wylie has signed with Texas Christian University, while Brielle Burns of St. John's School will be traveling north at the conclusion of this semester, to play for the University of Illinois.

Additionally, there were numerous special guests in attendance, such as Houston Texas safety Jalen Pitre, PGA professional Charlie Epps, John Sorrentino (Champions Dinner Advisory board), Beth Harp (CEO of Kids Meals), Pete Delongchamps (Senior VP Group 1 Automative), and Joe Pogge (Champions Dinner Director).
By the end of the evening, nearly $40,000 was raised, which will be donated to the Kids Meals charity fund.
Both Wylie and Burns are currently looking to cap off their high school career with a respective state title, and the beginning of this foundation deservedly noticed their remarkable skills.
