Mack, Jack & McConaughey is a fundraising initiative helmed by actor Matthew McConaughey, artist Jack Ingram and ESPN's Mack Brown. Since 2013 the organization has raised more than $7.5 million for its causes. This year's sixth gala will raise money for organizations benefitting children's education, health and wellness, including CureDuchenne, Dell Children's Medical Center, HeartGift, Just Keep Livin Foundation, and The Rise School of Austin.
"It's always fun to play in Texas and supporting this incredible charity event, which empowers kids and saves lives, is an opportunity we are inspired to be a part of," Dixie Chicks frontwoman Natalie Maines said in a press release, according to Billboard.
