RED BOW Records’ artist Craig Campbell will host the “4th Annual Craig Campbell Celebrity Cornhole Challenge” in honor of his late father who lost his battle with the disease at age 36. Fellow country stars Michael Ray, Canaan Smith and more to be announced will appear at this year’s event on Tuesday, June 7th from 1-3pm near 5th Avenue and Demonbreun Street in downtown Nashville, TN. As a national spokesperson for the cause, Campbell strives to raise awareness and funds for colorectal cancer education, research and prevention.
“We’ve been so blessed over the past three years with the success of my celebrity cornhole tournaments, that we’re gonna do another!” shared Campbell. “The event gets bigger and better every year. It makes me smile to know that we are raising so much money for research and awareness of this terrible disease.”
During the “4th Annual Craig Campbell Celebrity Cornhole Challenge,” artists will be paired with fans that bid online for the chance to play with them. The game is conducted in a bracket style with the non-celebrity winner receiving a commemorative cornhole board at the end.

Campbell is currently climbing the country radio charts with new single “Outskirts of Heaven” that he co-wrote with Dave Turnbull (Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton) and Rolling Stone Country describes as “a ballad with a sweeping, Nineties-style twang.” Following 2015’s “Tomorrow Tonight,” he has been in the studio with producer Mickey Jack Cones working on his RED BOW Records debut album. Having shared the stage with Randy Houser, Alan Jackson, The Band Perry, Jerrod Niemann and Justin Moore, he is currently touring across the U.S. and will be playing major fairs and festivals throughout the summer.
