WWE Superstars Are Coming To The Hey Stamford! Food Festival

STAMFORD, CT — WWE Superstars Happy Corbin and Liv Morgan, the new SmackDown Women's Champion, will be participating in this year’s Hey Stamford! Food Festival to raise money and awareness for Connor’s Cure and The V Foundation.

The food festival, which is slated to take place in Mill River Park from Aug. 11-14 and Aug. 18-21, recently announced a new partnership with Stamford-based WWE and The V Foundation.

Connor’s Cure was created in honor of 8-year-old WWE fan Connor Michalek who died in 2014 from medulloblastoma, a rare tumor that affects the brain and spinal cord.

WWE Interim CEO and Chairwoman Stephanie McMahon and WWE Executive Vice President Paul "Triple H" Levesque established Connor’s Cure as a fund to support pediatric brain and spinal cord cancer research.

Connor’s Cure now raises funding for critical pediatric cancer research at prominent cancer centers nationwide, and to date has raised nearly $3.6 million to fund research grants and provide family assistance.

Corbin and Morgan will attend the festival during the first weekend, with Corbin joining Friday, Aug. 12 and Morgan attending Saturday, Aug. 13. Both will be signing autographs and taking photos with fans. Tickets for the meet and greets are $25 per day and are now available for purchase at here. All proceeds will directly benefit Connor’s Cure.

"We are very proud to welcome WWE and its Superstars to our festival," said Ilario Altamura, president of Parachute Concerts and co-producer of the Hey Stamford! Food Festival. "Connor’s Cure is doing such important work and we are honored to be a part of this great effort."

Portions of festival ticket sales will also benefit Boys & Girls Club of Stamford and The Stamford Family YMCA.

The festival will also feature culinary demonstrations from Chefs Todd English and Aaron May, more than 50 food vendors each weekend with live performances by DJ Pauly D, Flo Rida, I Love the 90’s Tour (featuring Vanilla Ice, Rob Base, All-4-One, Young MC, Kid N Play), Resurrection - A Journey Tribute and more.
