The 28th Frank Sinatra Celebrity Invitational, February 18-20, 2016, will be a very special event honoring "100 Years of Sinatra" and THE LIFE of one of the most celebrated singers of this century.

It's just been announced that Seth MacFarlane will be receiving the Special Achievement Award for the Performing Arts from Mrs. Barbara Sinatra on February 20 during the tournament's gala event. Seth MacFarlane possesses talents that encompass many aspects of the entertainment industry.

Although best known for his voice work, producing and acting in his animated series FAMILY GUY and the highest-grossing R-rated film Ted, Seth is a well-established music artist. MacFarlane earned a Grammy nomination for his newest and third studio album, "No One Ever Tells You", which showcases the unique arrangements and orchestral interpretations of the '50s and '60s and introduces listeners to ballads about love and loss unique to the time. He also garnered two Grammy nominations for his 2011 debut album, "Music is Better Than Words".

Barbara Sinatra indicated, "I am thrilled that Seth will be one of our special guests for the weekend that celebrates what would have been Frank's 100th year, Seth is an amazing talent. I am personally looking forward to honoring him for his accomplished career and giving him the opportunity to see the outstanding work that is undertaken at our Children's Center."
