The event will take place at the Bluegrass Yacht and Country Club in Hendersonville, TN, with an after party/all-star jam at 12th & Porter in Nashville, TN. The after party jam session is exclusive to the golf tournament participants.
All proceeds will go to Lyrics For Life, a charity founded by Ken Block of Sister Hazel which benefits pediatric cancer patients and their families. Packages are going quickly, with only a few more foursomes available at this time. A celebrity will be paired with each foursome participating for rounds of five man scramble.
Individuals or foursomes interested in participating should sign up quickly (at www.rivergatestudios.net) to reserve one of the remaining slots, as they are expected to sell out soon. Interested sponsors can also contact wickedcoolevents@gmail.com for more information.

Says Capps of the event: "I am very lucky to have had some good things happen for me in my life. In celebration of that, I wanted to give something back. Lyrics for Life is a great foundation with a wonderful leader. We are throwing a party to raise money for kids with cancer. It's a win-win combo."
