There are two types of charities that I really love; one that involves the Dallas Cowboys and one that involves kids. When you get a charity that brings the two together, you’ve hit the jackpot. DeMarco Murray, Dallas Cowboys running back, hosted the 2nd Annual Celebrity Waiter Night at Ocean Prime to benefit his charity Demarco Murray Foundation.
The event started off with hors d’oeuvres on the patio at Ocean Prime. A mixed crowd of all ages that packed in the patio. Outside while guests noshed on delicious delicacies, a silent auction took place with items of all sorts up for grabs.
There was lots of Dallas Cowboys memorabilia up for grabs, all starting at great prices.
Before we knew it, a line of Dallas Cowboys marched out in aprons to pour wine for guests and to mingle with the crowd.
Once dinner started, the man of the night started the night off with many thanks to his team and sponsors. He spoke about his charity, Demarco Murray Foundation, and how explained that he wants the children to know that they have a large support group whether it be for their academics or for athletics. All kids need to know they have a people in their lives that are there to push them and DeMarco Murray is making sure that happens.
A few Dallas Cowboys took the night to help their teammate and friend to show up for this great cause. Tony Romo, Tyler Clutts, Doug Free, and Jason Witten were just a few of the players who were in attendance. They walked around, shook hands and autographed footballs for anyone and everyone who asked. I love that they were so personable and really showed up for charity.
Dinner was beyond delicious. Wine was served graciously along with our salad, filet mignon and dessert.
A live auction ended the night with great items such as a trip to the Super Bowl and vacations around the World. It was a great night to see the Cowboys helping their team mate raise more awareness and money for the DeMarco Murray Foundation. My favorite part of the night was DeMarco Murray pouring me a glass of wine.
I look forward to next year’s event and hope to see yall there too! To learn more information about the DeMarco Murray Foundation, check out his site and see what it’s all about!
This is such a fun concept! I would love to attend an event like this.
Swoon! This looks like such a fun event! A hot football player pouring me wine is definitely one for the bucket list.

What a fun event! The food looks amazing. But The Dallas Cowboys is kind of a dirty word in our house (my husband is from Wisconsin).
This is so cool! I love that they were the ones pouring the wine 🙂 What a fun event!
Wow, what a cool event! You are very lucky that you got to attend 🙂

Wow such a great time, we are Pats fans in our house but I can appreciate good looking men 🙂 Great post thanks for sharing it with us!
What an amazing event! I’m not even a huge football fan and I would have loved to go <3
how fun! my husband would have been all over this – we try to attend cowboy charity events when we get the opportunity.
The tartare looks delicious! Don’t you hate it that as the night progresses and it gets darker it is harder to take food photos – drives me crazy! Looks like a fun event!
The food looked amazing! Such a great idea. I’m glad you had a nice time!
How cool is celebrity waiter night! I swear I’m terrible with names and only know them by their TV show name (I know the football guys don’t change it, but you know what I mean I think lol). I’m not too into football, but I wouldn’t mind hunky guys like them serving me supper! Haha.
This looks so fun! The 49’ers do a similar event here, called the Pasta Bowl. They all serve spaghetti and such.
Looks like a great event! Thanks for sharing!
I love him!
