Craig Campbell's Cornhole Challenge Makes a Monumental Impact

Craig Campbell’s 11th Annual Celebrity Cornhole Challenge isn’t just another charity event. This year, nestled in the heart of CMA Fest week at 6th & Peabody, the celebration brought together excitement, competition, and music, raising over $30,000 for the Kenny Campbell Foundation. It’s a heartfelt gesture, as the foundation was started in memory of Craig’s father, Kenny Campbell.

A Unique Fundraiser with a Celebrity Twist

Campbell’s cornhole challenge isn’t your average backyard game. Fans eagerly bid for a chance to partner with one of 16 teams, sparking thrilling matches that kept everyone at the edge of their seats. The stakes were high—not just for the trophy, but for the pride and bragging rights that come with victory.

The competition’s intensity reached its peak when country artist Tayler Holder faced off against Campbell’s own daughter, Kinni Rose, in the final round. With a nimble toss, Holder claimed the win, marking another exciting chapter in the event’s storied history.

A Gathering of Musical Talents

An impressive lineup graced the event. Beyond Campbell and Holder were Bigg Vinny, Bryan Martin, Craig Wayne Boyd, and Dillon Carmichael, to name just a few. As each musician took the stage following their exit from the tournament, the day was filled with outstanding performances that entertained and uplifted.

Campbell himself pulled out all the stops with a vibrant concert after the cornhole intensities cooled, further marking the day as a memorable, musical extravaganza.

A Collective Effort of Community and Generosity

Reflecting on the day’s success, Craig Campbell expressed immense gratitude, “I can’t thank 6th & Peabody, our amazing volunteers, sponsors, and artists enough for spending the day with us and raising a record amount of money.”

Indeed, the event is more than just a game; it’s a community gathering with a charitable cause. These funds will go towards worthwhile initiatives supported by the Kenny Campbell Foundation, continuing its legacy of making impactful changes.

Looking Ahead: More Music for Good

The philanthropic spirit doesn’t end here. Coming up on July 24, the inaugural Kenny Campbell Foundation Presents a Benefit Concert at the renowned Ryman Auditorium. This promises another stellar lineup, with not just Craig Campbell but also Bradley Gaskin, Tyler Farr, Michael Ray, and others ready to light up the stage for a noble cause.

According to MusicRow.com, the efforts of such musical gatherings provide not just entertainment but a key pillar in supporting vital community programs. Craig Campbell and those who join him stand as beacons of goodwill through the power of music and friendly competition.
