Record-Breaking Fundraiser by Mack, Jack & McConaughey Raises Over $17 Million for Children's Charities

Mack, Jack & McConaughey: An Unprecedented Fundraising Weekend

The 13th edition of the Mack, Jack & McConaughey (MJM) fundraising weekend delivered an incredible impact, raising over $17 million for five dedicated children's charities. Beyond just a fundraising event, this two-day celebration brought together celebrities, fashion, and music, making it a memorable highlight for the Austin community. Held recently on April 24-25, 2025, it stands as the most successful event in MJM history.

MJM is a partnership forged by three notable figures: the Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey, country music star Jack Ingram, and legendary Texas coach Mack Brown. Together, they strive to enhance children's education, health, and wellness through support for organizations like CureDuchenne, Dell Children's Medical Center, HeartGift, the just keep livin Foundation, and The Rise School of Austin.

Mack Brown expressed his gratitude for the support received: "This year's record-breaking success means more children will receive life-changing support. We're deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to making this our most impactful event yet."

A Star-Studded Gala and Events

The festivities kicked off with a glamorous Gala featuring a performance from renowned country music star Eric Church. This was just the beginning of an electrifying series of events that included a Golf Tournament, a Fashion Show hosted by Neiman Marcus, and the signature Jack & Friends concert series. The latter showcased a stellar lineup including Miranda Lambert, Ryan Bingham, and various celebrated artists.

The Fashion Show, a focal point of the second day, presented the Fall/Winter 2025 collection from the high-fashion brand Carolina Herrera. With renowned designer Wes Gordon providing his artistic vision, the event highlighted elegance with a purpose. Co-hosted by Camila Alves McConaughey and Sally Brown, this part of the event married luxury fashion with the mission of supporting children's causes.

Camila Alves McConaughey shared her enthusiasm about featuring Carolina Herrera in this year’s show: "Wes Gordon's Fall/Winter 2025 collection captured a breathtaking sense of ephemeral beauty - it reflected timeless femininity." The collaboration between fashion and philanthropy not only enhances MJM's appeal but also deepens the meaningful impact of attendees' contributions.

Wes Gordon himself remarked, "It was a true privilege to bring our Fall/Winter 2025 collection to Austin in support of the incredible work being done by MJM. This collection was inspired by the fleeting beauty of a garden after the rain - a moment of calm, reflection, and renewal. That spirit aligns naturally with the mission of MJM."

Transformational Impact and Future Events

This record-breaking fundraising effort has a monumental effect, directly benefiting the five charitable organizations working tirelessly to provide essential healthcare, education, and wellness programs for children not just in Texas but beyond. Since its inception in 2013, MJM has accumulated over $78 million, establishing it as one of Texas's most meaningful charitable ventures.

As plans begin for the 2026 event, which will celebrate MJM’s 14th anniversary, there’s anticipation and excitement in the air. The combination of entertainment, high fashion, and philanthropy promises to engage even more supporters, ensuring that the legacy of MJM continues to grow and make a significant difference in the lives of children in need.
