McCarthy, Wahlberg Bring Star-Studded Event to North Texas
Trident Lakes To Dedicate New Equestrian Center to Generation Rescue
MCKINNEY, Texas, Sept. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Celebrities Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg are bringing their unique glitz and glamour to North Texas for a star-studded fundraising event on Oct. 1. The power couple will host a party – "A Night of Hope" – featuring national and local celebrities and a performance by Cirque du Soleil, all benefitting McCarthy's autism charity: Generation Rescue.

The gala will be held at the residence of local businessman John Eckerd, chairman of MyMojo and Trident Lakes, and his wife, Lauren, in McKinney's prestigious Provine Farms.

Invited guests include Dennis Haysbert (24), Joey Fatone (*NSync), Debbe Dunning (Home Improvement), assorted Dallas Cowboys' alumni and various stars from Bravo's Real Housewives franchise including Beverly Hills' Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky, New Jersey's Jacqueline and Chris Laurita and Dallas' LeeAnne Locken, Tiffany Hendra, Stephanie Hollman, Brandi Redmond and Cary Deuber.

In conjunction with the party, an unprecedented new Trident Lakes real estate development located near Bonham, Texas will commence its official groundbreaking by dedicating its state-of-the-art equestrian center to McCarthy's Generation Rescue. Trident Lakes is a $300 million, 700-acre project planned to boast one of the world's largest fountains, 400 Earth-covered luxury condominiums and upscale amenities such as a golf course, spa, shooting ranges and massive blue lagoons for water sports.

The community's 100,000-square foot equestrian center will feature 100 stalls and encompass two riding arenas and a polo field. It will be named in honor of McCarthy's foundation – "The Generation Rescue Equestrian Center at Trident Lakes."

"There will be lots of amenities at Trident Lakes," says project CEO Jim O'Connor, "but no doubt the equestrian center - and especially those it helps - will always hold a very special place in all of our hearts."

McCarthy, who married Wahlberg in 2014, became involved with Generation Rescue in 2008 after her son, Evan, was diagnosed with autism. She is a star with successful careers as a model, media host, comedian and author. The couple also has their own A&E reality show, Donnie Loves Jenny.

Transcript for Las Vegas Cooking: Donnie Wahlberg Does Burgers on 'GMA':

You sent in pictures of your best creations and joining us now with us is Donnie Wahlberg, the singer, actor and reality star and owner of Wahlburgers. That's right. We'll have a big burger competition with our team but chat first. Holiday weekend coming up. I heard Vegas is the place to be? We just opened Wahlburgers in Vegas and it's really outside of Boston it was the place we most wanted to go to as our next location because if we're in Vegas we can reach the whole world because everyone from around the world goes to Vegas. It's a great place to eat. Great restaurant place so the competition to have great food is amazing and labor day weekend for it to be up and running is exciting. Also exciting because me and my wife are celebrating our second anniversary this weekend so we're going to go to Vegas and I get to visit. You're a spokesperson for Las Vegas but also when is a weekend not in Vegas, I mean it's always timing for Vegas. It's one of the other reasons we wanted to open in Vegas because it gives me and my brothers an excuse to constantly go to Vegas and I mean there's no better place to go. I'm glad your wife jenny is on board. She comes with me. I don't go alone. I don't go alone. Let's clarify, people. You brought three of the brother -- can you call them brother burgers. They're just signature burgers of the restaurant, we each -- Paul our brother is the chef and designed all the ingredients and recipes and everything, but we had a chance to, you know, give our own input. So mark, for example, he likes Thanksgiving -- in where is mark's burger. It's like Thanksgiving leftovers on a burger. Turkey burger, stuffing, homemade cranberry sauce and all this stuff and it's good and Paul has the signature burger of the restaurant which is called our burger, the whole family. Government cheese which we grew up on. We were very poor and had nine kids in the house and grew up on free cheese and took the same kind of cheese and put it in the burgers and melts the best, melts like that. I know how that melts. The government cheese just melts and we have my burger. Mine has jalapenos and avocados and you get Paul's like the momma bear. 'Kind of cold. Mark is like the daddy bear, he's kind of hot and I'm just right. Mine is just right. Not biased but we have a competition going on with Amy, Tom, okay, Amy and Tom. Who can eat the fastest I'm going to win. Eat-off or burger-off. You have to make one too in all the Wahlburger ingredients. 15 housemade condiments my brother Paul created. 15 seconds on the clock. You got 15 seconds. You make the burger and I will eat it. Okay -- You're going to eat it. I will taste them all. That is a very naughty way to squirt the sauce. Naughty. Okay. Seven, six -- I couldn't open it up. Four. Are you kidding me. Two, one. Oh, my gosh. I don't have anything. I probably should have told you at wahlburgers we put the condiments on the bottom, not the top. I couldn't get the bun open. The bun. That's what he said but that's a whole other story. Okay -- Donny, you said you'd eat it if I made it. I see both of you use bleu cheese. I don't really like bleu cheese so I'm probably going to go with this one. You totally copped out. Look at mine. Let me try this first. How does anyone eat that. That's why I don't cook in let me try. Get a bite of that, oh, my god. This is going -- Yep. Get in there. Oh, my gosh. Get in there. Yay.
