Customers at Harvey's Restaurant in Tupelo got a special treat on Tuesday as local celebrities served as waiters for children at St. Jude Hospital.
TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) – Customers at Harvey's Restaurant in Tupelo enjoyed a special treat on Tuesday as local celebrities waited for children at St. Jude Hospital.
The annual St. Jude Celebrity Weight Night drew large crowds, with celebrities such as Will Kollmeyer, Andrew and Taylor Brown and high school track star Jett Johnson catering.
All tips collected Tuesday night will be donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
This was Jett Johnson's first time attending Celebrity Standby Night and he said it was a special night.
“I had an older brother who was a patient at St. Jude's but he eventually passed away and I never met him. St. Jude's has been a special place in my family for a long time. This event is special to us and to so many others. Why it's important to me is because I want to give back to the community. God has given me a platform so I want to spread goodness throughout the community. This community has given me and my football caregivers unwavering support so to be able to give back and help out for a great cause means so much,” Johnson said.
Jett and all the celebrity waiters want to give a shout out to the waiters and kitchen staff at Harvey's, they all work so hard! We will have a total tally up within the next week and will be presenting it at Harvey's in Columbus this fall.
