Two years ago when he attended actor Patrick Warburton's Celebrity Golf Tournament in Palm Desert, Will Fuller witnessed a commitment level to the event's charity, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, than he had never seen before.
"I wanted to raise awareness of the good work they are doing," says Fuller.
So his family's annual gathering Feb. 11 at their La Quinta home at Villa Oliveto became an opportunity to share Warburton's mission.
More than 200 people also enjoyed gazing at and getting behind the wheel of a selection of Maserati's from Maserati of Rancho Mirage, munched on eats from Piero's Pizza Vino, while listening to Grammy nominated jazz singer Chris Bennett. They also enjoyed the Villa Oliveto, a private estate in PGA West, listed compliments of Bob Hurwitz and Josh Reef of the Hurwitz James Company, Beverly Hills, Calif.
