The TJ Martell Foundation hosted their 8th Annual Family Day event to a sold out crowd at the Grove in Los Angeles on Saturday. The event, which was presented by CITI, The Grove, GuitarTown Kids and Gibson Foundation featured a day of games, food and amazing musical performances. Cali Rodi & Next Town Down kicked off the show followed by performances from Hollywood Records artists In Real Life, Jordan Fisher & Sofia Carson.
In Real Life, the winners of ABC’s “Boyband,” impressed the audience with their covers of “Jealous” and “Despacito.” We’d also like to point out they sang “Despacito” completely in Spanish (minus Michael’s rap) which was impressive. They closed their sit with their ultra catchy single “Eyes Closed.” Jordan Fisher performed some of his hits including “All About Us” and showed off some impressive moves. No wonder he’s killing it on “Dancing with the Stars” right now! He even performed his new single “Mess” for the first time live. Sofia Carson closed out the show performing songs like “Love is the Name,” “Ins and Outs” and a cover of Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself.” She also took time to dedicate her song “Back to Beautiful” to the Victims of the Las Vegas shooting.
Also attending the event to show their support and raise funds for cancer research were “This Is Us” stars Hannah Ziele, Mackenzie Hanciscak & Parker Bates, Hudson Yang, Lindsay Arnold, Dexter Darden, Isabela Moner, Booboo Stewart & Debbie Gibson.
The T.J. Martell Foundation is the music industry’s leading foundation dedicated to funding innovative medical research focused on finding treatments and cures for cancer.
