Kids’ Health Gets a Swing

Rochester Hills, MI, USATuesday, June 9, 2026

The golf course in Rochester Hills is more than a green field. It’s a place where famous people and local leaders swing for a good cause.

The Feldman Automotive Children’s Miracle Celebrity Invitational

  • Origin: Started six years ago by Mark Wahlberg and Jay Feldman after discussing ways to support Corewell Health and Children’s Miracle Network post‑COVID.
  • Growth: Evolved into one of the biggest charity golf events in Southeast Michigan.

Impact

  • All proceeds go straight into Corewell Health programs, providing life‑saving care, special equipment, and support for sick children and their families.
  • Mission: “You’re only as happy as your least happy child,” said Kevin James, host of the day.

Celebrity Involvement

  • Mark Wahlberg: The event honors his mother, who valued helping others over fame or money.
  • Anthony Anderson: Joined to use his platform for community improvement.
  • Ryan Daly (President, Corewell Health Foundation): Highlights how patients and families keep hope alive.

This Year’s Goal

  • Target: $1.4 million.
