Earnhardt Lexus hosts its annual Off the Record Fundraiser for Phoenix Children’s Hospital on Saturday, November 10 from 7:00-11:30 p.m. It’ll be a good time for a great cause!
As a family owned and operated business in Arizona, we are proud to support the leading children’s hospital that does so much to support families and children of Arizona!
– Tex Earnhardt
Hosted at the Earnhardt Lexus showroom, Off the Record is a one-night-only party with live music from recording artist Russell Dickerson. Emerging country music star Dickerson’s single, “Yours,” and its later-released extended-play version, both received popular reviews. The extended-play version reached Number 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. The popularity of this song netted Dickerson a spot on the iTunes Best of 2015 list, and also on TheKnot.com’s list of best wedding songs of 2016. Over 400 guests will join the PCH50 on November 10 at this intimate party of music, drinks, food and fun. PCH50 is a group of 50 community leaders who generate support for Phoenix Children’s Hospital through fundraising, volunteer efforts and awareness building.
