Joey King hugs a St. Jude patient at Chili’s Grill & Bar on Monday (September 19) in Auburn Hills, Mich.

The 12-year-old actress participated in the event as a VIP server to help support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, drawing pictures and posing for photos with other event attendees.

We’re glad Joey was able to make it to the event despite braving some harsh weather conditions!

“Try 2 get 2 @Chilis 4 @StJude but having trouble getting out the door! Rain, Rain Go Away!!” Joey tweeted earlier in the day.
