“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.
