“My team deserved it’s own post- I love Riley- I really do- he’s one of my closest friends – but I’m coming to smack ass next week,” he wrote. “This is war.. and WE ARE SPARTA.” 

The much-anticipated event will take place on Monday, June 5 at 6:30 PM at Nashville’s First Horizon Park (19 Jr Gilliam Wy) and will raise money for Folds of Honor Tennessee, an organization that supports the families of America’s fallen or disabled service members and first responders.

For the past few years, the Rock ‘N Jock Celebrity Softball Game has been a fan-favorite event and this year promises to be no different.

In addition to the softball game, there will also be a celebrity Star Spangled Banner performance, celebrity commentators throughout the game, fan photos, and more.

ABOUT FOLDS OF HONOR:

It began with Lt Col Dan Rooney’s flight home from his second tour of duty in Iraq. An F-16 fighter pilot in the Oklahoma Air National Guard, he became painfully aware of the realities families face when a loved one in uniform is fallen or disabled.

As his flight landed, the pilot announced they carried the remains of Corporal Brock Bucklin on board. Lt Col Rooney watched as Corporal Bucklin’s twin brother walked somberly alongside the flag-covered casket to meet his family on the tarmac. Among them was the deceased Corporal’s young son, Jacob.

Since that night, Lt Col Rooney has committed his life to rallying patriotic Americans and meeting sacrifice with hope through the Folds of Honor. Since 2007, we’ve provided life-changing scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen or disabled military. And now, our mission expands to the families of America’s first responders. On our watch, those who protect our freedoms and our families will know they are not forgotten.
