"We got to tour all the hospital facilities here and meet some doctors, nurses, staff, and a couple patients," said McCormick. "So I think being able to see that and meet them just gave us a little bit of extra motivation tonight and we are happy to be apart of it and help raise as much funds as we can for the community here."
