CRAIG MORGAN TO HOST 6th ANNUAL CHARITY WEEKEND
 BENEFITING BILLY’S PLACE

 

Nashville, TN…(May 21, 2012)…Country Music superstar and award-winning TV host CRAIG MORGAN announced today that he is set to host his 6th
annual Charity Weekend August 11 and 12 in his hometown of Dickson,
Tenn.  Proceeds from the two-day event, which includes a Celebrity
Motocross Ride, Concert and Sporting Clay Shoot, will benefit Billy’s
Place, an organization benefitting foster children in Dickson County and
throughout Middle Tennessee.

The family-friendly event will kick-off Saturday, August 11 in Dickson,
Tenn. The morning will start with a motocross exhibition followed by a
group trail ride and lunch. Previous motocross celebrity participants
have included Kevin Windham, Cowboy Kenny Bartram, Fred Andrews and
Barry Hawk. Later that night, Craig and several of his country music
friends will take to the stage for an intimate acoustic concert at
Dickson Middle School. A live and silent auction will also take place
where attendees can bid on everything from autographed memorabilia to
the chance to give the singer a high-and-tight haircut on stage during
the event.

Last year’s new addition, the hugely popular Sporting Clay Shoot, will
return again the morning of August 12 from Nashville Gun Club. Teams of
shooters will face off and display their finest shooting skills as they
attempt to dethrone Morgan, who was celebrity co-captain of this year’s
winning team at the NRA Country/ACM Sporting Clay Shoot.

All three events are open to the public. Individual event and bundled
tickets will go on sale in June. Celebrity participants for all three
events will be announced at a later date.

organization’s continuing mission is to build and maintain a home called
Billy’s Place for temporarily displaced children in Dickson County
Tennessee and to provide lasting funding for the home. His long term
goal is to start additional Billy’s Place homes around the country. The
annual Craig Morgan Charity Weekend, encompassing a motocross ride,

support of Billy’s Place and other children’s welfare organizations.
