On June 2nd, Nashville will host the annual Rock 'N Jock Celebrity Softball Game at First Horizon Park. This event unites notable figures from country music, comedy, and sports to compete in a friendly yet competitive match. Proceeds go towards Folds of Honor, an organization providing educational scholarships to families affected by military or first responder service. Featuring performances and appearances by renowned artists like Riley Green, Justin Moore, comedians John Crist, Danae Hays, and Olympic medalist Shawn Johnson, this year promises to be a memorable occasion.

In its mission to honor American heroes, the softball game divides participants into two teams: Team Military and Team First Responders. These teams not only engage in spirited competition but also allow fans to support their favorite group through donations. The event features diverse talent, including Grammy-winning artist Lee Greenwood performing his classic "God Bless The USA." Tickets start at $20, with all proceeds supporting Folds of Honor's scholarship initiatives.

This year’s event coincides with the Marine Corps’ celebration of the 250th anniversary of the U.S. military branches. As part of Marine Week Nashville, it aims to celebrate the enduring contributions of armed forces members and first responders. Since 2007, under the leadership of Lt Col Dan Rooney, Folds of Honor has distributed nearly 62,000 scholarships, impacting communities across the nation, including Tennessee where almost 3,000 students have benefited.

Last year, the game attracted over 7,500 attendees and raised more than $436,000. Past participants include Terry Bradshaw, Kane Brown, Missy Franklin, and others who have contributed to making each edition of the game a success. With sponsors like Black Rifle Coffee Company backing the event, anticipation builds for what promises to be another impactful gathering.

The Rock 'N Jock Celebrity Softball Game exemplifies how entertainment can align with meaningful causes. By uniting celebrities and fans alike, it fosters a spirit of patriotism while ensuring that those who serve receive the recognition they deserve. Through continued efforts, Folds of Honor remains committed to honoring sacrifices made by military personnel and first responders through education.
