Wells Clayton Whitworth Memorial Foundation

08/27/2026

We hope everyone comes out to support this great cause! Please see below for an update on Saturday’s event!

Update regarding the 2026 Southern Social:

We regret to announce that Sammy Kershaw’s performance at the 2026 Southern Social has been canceled due to lingering voice issues. While Sammy may have lost his voice, we have not lost our cause!

The 2026 Southern Social will go on with 18-year-old singing sensation from Rogersville, AL, Titus Thornton. Described by Country Thang Daily as "Keith Whitley reincarnated," Titus brings pure, God-given grit and southern charm - no auto-tune, no studio polish, just old-school country brought to life by a kid who wasn't even born when George Strait ruled the charts.

Because this is a fundraising event, all proceeds directly support families in their darkest hours through the Wells Clayton Whitworth Memorial Foundation and the Sarah Gayle Gibbs Memorial Foundation. We kindly ask that you keep your ticket, join us for a great night of music, and stand with these vital non-profits. If you are interested in a refund, please contact your point of purchase.
