America’s Got Talent Winner Richard Goodall to Headline Babington Foundation Fundraiser

WELLINGTON, FL, February 7, 2025 – In what promises to be the most electrifying event of the year in Wellington, the Kevin Babington Foundation is thrilled to announce that Richard Goodall, the winner of 2024’s America’s Got Talent, will be headlining the highly anticipated Kevin’s Rockstars Lip Sync Fundraiser!

If there’s ever been a song lyric to capture the spirit of this foundation, it’s Journey’s iconic line: “Don’t Stop Believin’!” And this event is all about belief—in dreams, in music, and most importantly, in making a difference.

Richard Goodall, whose remarkable talent and heartfelt performances won the hearts of millions, will bring his magic to the stage in an unforgettable night of entertainment, inspiration, and community. Fans of Richard won’t want to miss the chance to see him in action as he lends his incredible voice and energy to support this incredible cause.

“I am a big fan of America’s Got Talent and when I heard Richard’s voice I was brought to tears,” says foundation Chairman Jeff Papows. “I realized at that moment that Richard’s heart, humility and spirit was a perfect representation of our foundation. I KNEW we had to somehow get him to come and sing. In a “take nothing but yes answer,” which is frequent for me, I reached out to his school principal where he still serves to this day despite his fame.”

With this incredible addition to the nights lineup we want to make sure you purchase your tickets as soon as possible.

About Kevin Babington Foundation:   

In late August 2019, Kevin experienced a life-altering moment when he suffered a complete spinal cord injury following a fall during the 2019 Grand Prix at the Hampton Classic Horse Show in Bridgehampton, NY, United States. In early September, Kevin underwent a critical surgery to stabilize the vertebrae in his neck. By mid-October of that same year, he had made significant progress, transitioning from relying on a ventilator for breathing to facing the challenge of being paralyzed from the neck down. Remarkably, just two months later, Kevin began teaching from his wheelchair. Today, he remains on a determined journey, actively participating in experimental stem cell therapy, holding onto the hope of regaining movement below the neck.

This life-altering event marked the inception of the Kevin Babington Foundation, which was established in 2019. Kevin Babington Foundation (KBF) has been created to provide funding and support for Equestrian Show Jumping Athletes who sustain spinal injuries. In addition to providing financial assistance the foundation will also strive to educate riders, trainers and show organizers about the most current safety measures designed to reduce the risk of serious injuries which can occur while riding.
