The Martin Truex Jr. Foundation, started by the NASCAR veteran Martin Truex Jr., is involved in many cancer awareness and treatment fundraisers. Recently, the MTJ Foundation hosted its signature event “Catwalk for a Cause”. This event was the dream project of the 2017 Cup Series champion and his late girlfriend, Sherry Pollex, which they both started in 2009.

The goal of the event is to empower children diagnosed with cancer as they were made the stars of a fashion show. In the event, children are paired with NASCAR drivers and their significant others for a ramp walk. This year we saw Kyle Larson and Katelyn Larson walking the ramp in the event. Adding to the heartfelt moments, Denny Hamlin’s daughter got the opportunity to sing at the event, making the crowd her fan and Hamlin a proud father.

The event in its 14th edition was held in collaboration with the Sherry Strong Foundation, which was created to carry on the legacy of Sherry Pollex, who was a strong advocate for women fighting ovarian cancer and children suffering from pediatric cancer. Her Philanthropic efforts to fight cancer are well known. Although she’s gone, her work continues to speak. MTJ, speaking about the event, said, “We are looking forward to continuing Catwalk for a Cause in conjunction with Sherry Strong. The event is always such a special night for children and their families going through an unimaginable diagnosis. To be able to put a smile on these kids’ faces and raise a lot of money in support of integrative treatment to help them on their journey is what it is all about.”

According to the MTJ Foundation’s website, since the event’s inception, “Catwalk for a Cause” has raised over 5 million dollars for pediatric and ovarian cancer initiatives. This year’s theme for the fashion show was an adorable magical fairy garden. Where some kids were dressed as fairies. Adding more awe to the event was Denny Hamlin’s daughter, Taylor, who got the chance to showcase her beautiful voice. Her touching performance had everyone moved, including the NASCAR veteran.

Hamlin was naturally proud of his daughter, as he took to X and wrote, “Proud is an understatement Thank you @mtjfoundation @sherrystrongoc for including Taylor to sing the finale at last night’s Catwalk for a Cause 🎤 We are so grateful for all the work you do for these kids and in our community. #catwalkforacause.”

Here, take a look at the heartfelt performance:

Taylor is Denny Hamlin‘s eldest daughter with his fiance, Jordan Fish. The two are often seen cheering their 11-year-old as she takes the stage with her singing talent. Even Kyle Busch’s wife, Samantha, was touched by the performance who was quick to comment on Hamlin’s post. She wrote, “She’s incredible!!!!” Samantha’s emotions were echoed by Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s wife, Amy, who loved Taylor’s voice. As she wrote, “Her voice is (fire and clap emoji)”

They weren’t the only fans Taylor made with her performance. All the NASCAR fans were amazed as they flooded the comment section on Hamlin’s post.

Hamlin, being the wonderful father he is, is often seen encouraging his daughter’s talents. This is not the first time Taylor has taken the limelight with her singing, only last year an adorable video of her singing went viral. She performed the role of ‘Dorothy from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz series’ and left everyone in awe. Just like her current performance, where a fan was in tears after listening to her. The fan wrote, “This made me cry. Taylor has a beautiful voice.”

The ‘Catwalk for a Cause’ event had about 400 people and for an 11-year-old to muster courage in front of a large crowd is commendable. She surely has 400 new fans and many more online.
