At the Nashville Fairgrounds, Lawrence and 300 volunteers came together to cook over 1,600 turkeys on-site. The turkey fry also drew in notable names who volunteered to help like Charles Esten, Terri Clark, Clint Black, Maddie Font (of Maddie & Tae), Chase Matthew, Frank Ray and more, who all assisted Lawrence in dropping turkeys. In addition, over 1,000 frozen turkeys were distributed to food shelters throughout Middle Tennessee, providing a record-breaking 25,000 meals to those in need.
Later that night, Lawrence was joined by Russell Dickerson, Meghan Patrick, John Schneider and Halfway To Hazard for a benefit concert at Luke Combs’ Category 10, raising and donating $250,000 for the Nashville Rescue Mission, Mission:Possible’s longtime partner.
“I love to be in an industry and a town that cares so much about its citizens,” says Lawrence on stage. “To see the hundreds of volunteers show up year after year, a lot of folks have been coming since this thing began 19 years ago. I can’t even begin to tell you, from the bottom of my heart, how much it means to me. We should all be proud of the wonderful city that we live in.”
