Golf Tournament benefits Texas Children's Hospital
Submitted by jcht2010 on
Wyatt Ray Revel only spent a few days on this earth, but, with some help from his parents, he’s still making a big impact.
Rachel and Cody Revel organized the second annual “Teeing Up For Wyatt” golf tournament on August 1, which also included a live auction, a silent auction, and live music. The event raised $44,000 to benefit Texas Children’s Hospital, where Wyatt spent his short life.
“Two years ago, we lost our son,” said Cody Revel, “He was at Texas Children’s Hospital, and it was such an amazing place. We wanted to do something to honor him. This year [the event] has gotten even bigger.”
The fundraiser, which was wrapped up at the end of the night with musical performances by Austin Meade and The Scott Taylor Band, raised $29,000 more than it did last year, and Rachel noted that her son’s birthday was on July 29.
“It’s a great event they’re doing for Wyatt,” said Scott Taylor, I’m glad everybody’s getting behind them, and supporting kids. Kids should never suffer. The fact that they’re doing something so big for Texas Children’s – It’s wonderful.”
Rachel and Cody Revel are now expecting a baby girl, and say that they will continue to honor the memory of their little boy.
