Join us March 12 - 15, 2026, for the 16th annual The Warburton Celebrity Golf Tournament in beautiful Palm Desert, California, where Patrick Warburton and his celebrity friends will come together for a fun weekend of star-studded festivities to help St. Jude Children's Research Hospital battle childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. The Warburton has raised more than $38 million for St. Jude since its inception in 2011.

The Warburton weekend kicks off Thursday evening with a Songwriters Night at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort, where renowned Nashville songwriters will share stories behind some of their biggest hits. The hotel will also host Friday's Pairings Party & Rheneypalooza Jam, which brings together rock-and-roll legends for an unforgettable night of fun, followed by the Saturday Soirée, featuring a red carpet, dinner, a premier auction and entertainment by SIXWIRE & Friends.

The Golf Tournament will take place on Saturday and Sunday at The Classic Club and Desert Willow Golf Resort in Palm Desert, where each foursome will be paired with a celebrity player. The weekend will conclude on Sunday with an awards luncheon and check presentation.

All proceeds from this event help further the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.®

We wanted to have something that gave us a sense of purpose outside of just our own world: raising funds for a charity that benefited sick children, specifically, and their families.

— Patrick & Cathy Warburton
