A benefit for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Prior to CMA Music Fest! Multi-platinum selling Lonestar will help kick-off the CMA Music Festival with "Lonestar Strikes Out For The Kids", a bowling party to raise money and awareness for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The strike and spare event will be held at the Hermitage Lanes in Nashville, Tenn. on Monday, June 8th from 6-10 p.m. CT.
Celebrities have been invited to host bowling lanes for the party, and fans attending the event have a chance to bowl with the artists. Three lucky fans' names will be drawn to bowl a game with each artist. The drawing for bowling slots will take place prior to the party, and winners names will be announced at the party. Also, in the lobby of the bowling center, a silent auction will be held throughout the evening featuring items from some of country music's biggest stars. Each attending celebrity will receive a custom-made bowling shirt, which will be autographed by the celebrity and then auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Tickets to the event are $30. Ticket price includes:
- a barbecue dinner (dinner will be served from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the bowling alley)
- admission to the bowling party and silent auction (bowling begins at 7 p.m.)
- each ticket holder will be eligible to participate in drawings for a spot on a celebrity's bowling team. However, if a child wins a bowling spot on a team, he or she must be old enough to be on the lanes unaccompanied by a parent or guardian.
A portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which is one of the world's premier centers for research and treatment of catastrophic diseases in children.
