Grab those beanbags and start practicing your tosses because Craig Campbell is bringing his A-game yet again for his fifth annual Celebrity Cornhole Challenge during the week of the 2017 CMA Music Festival.

The country star is switching it up for the fifth year of the charitable event, taking the venue out of the downtown scene for that of Nashville hotspot, City Winery. With the tournament adding a little friendly competition to the fun of CMA Fest, the country artists will nonetheless gather together in order to raise awareness for such a dedicated cause in Campbell’s heart.

“I can’t believe this is our fifth year having the cornhole tournament! I’m so proud that we can still do this event, raising money and awareness to fight colorectal cancer,” Campbell said in a press release. “I always get excited knowing we are gonna have a great time throwing bags all while doing what we can to erase this terrible disease.”

Stars such as Dee Jay Silver, Trent Harmon, Nascar driver Scott Lagasse, Jr., Jackie Lee, Love and Theft, Jerrod Niemann, Parmalee, Michael Ray and Thompson Square will participate in the cornhole festivities and try their hand at landing a bag (or two) in the score zone.

The cornhole challenge will be followed up by a benefit dinner, contributing back to raising funds for Fight Colorectal Cancer. The non-profit organization helps countless patients plagued with the disease by donating funds to research and education about the cancer. Since its kickoff years ago, Campbell and his country pals have raised more than $35,000 for the group and hopes to continue that success even more so this year.

The fifth annual Craig Campbell Celebrity Cornhole Challenge will take place on Tuesday, June 6, with the tournament kicking off in the afternoon at 2:30 p.m. CT. Fans interested in a shot at competing in the games or wanting to purchase a VIP ticket for the day can head to the Fight Colorectal Cancer website for more information.
