“ It was not easy to get him to give in to the spotlight for a big party like this for him. However, knowing that it will be a fundraiser for the charity founded after his grandson Ryan’s traumatic brain injuy in 2001- Ryan’s Reach,  he agreed to be roasted unmercifully”,  said Lindy Boone Michaels, Pat’s daughter.

A VIP reception where sponsors will have the opportunity to meet Pat Boone along with the other celebrities will precede the dinner and ROAST.

Along with this night of comedic ridicule, Debby Boone, Pat’s award winning recording artist daughter, will perform a special birthday set for her father.

Pat’s beloved Harley Davidson will be inside the party and auctioned off for the Ryan’s Reach charity.

The entire evening is dedicated to raising funds and awareness of Ryan’s Reach- The Ryan Corbin Foundation.  Ryan is Pat and Shirley Boone’s first grandchild and the foundation is named in his honor(Ryan suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2001). Because Ryan is financially secure, all donations to Ryan’s Reach are directed for the care of others.  The foundation is dedicated to the rehabilitation, retraining and support of individuals who have been devastated by traumatic brain injury(TBI). The proceeds from the evening’s celebration will enable Ryan’s Reach to o continue caring for those we serve as well as addressing long term goals of establishing a group home for TBI survivors.
