In 2026, it will have been 20 years since we lost willie.

His wishes were clear: to make sure other kids don’t have to go through what he went through and to take care of his friends. In his light-hearted but whole-hearted spirit, we created the QuadW Foundation. With these wishes in mind, his family and eight of his closest friends embarked on a remarkable journey to carry on his legacy, his passions, and the urgent search for better treatments in osteosarcoma. On Saturday, February 28, 2026, we invite you to join us in commemorating this impact at a benefit at the Granada Theater in Dallas. We are excited to feature a concert by The Clinton Years, who will be performing the best of the 90s in addition to old favorites by Willie’s high school rock band, Clover Street. Some of Willie’s former bandmates will be performing with The Clinton Years, so it will be a particularly special evening you will not want to miss!

Proceeds of the benefit will go towards our mission areas:

higher education

sarcoma
