Craig Campbell‘s 11th Annual Celebrity Cornhole Challenge kicked off CMA Fest week June 3 at 6th & Peabody yesterday, raising over $30,000 for the Kenny Campbell Foundation.

Fans bid to partner with one of 16 teams to compete for a trophy and bragging rights. Several of the artists performed on stage after being eliminated from the tournament, and Campbell followed the trophy presentation with a full concert. The final round pitted country artist Tayler Holder against Craig’s daughter Kinni Rose, and Holder came out victorious.

In addition to Campbell, Holder and Kinni, the celebrity lineup included Bigg Vinny, Bryan Martin, Craig Wayne Boyd, Dillon Carmichael, Dylan Marlowe, Jerrod Niemann, Mindy Campbell, Noah Peters, Preslee Campbell, Sammy Arriaga, and The Swon Brothers.

“I can’t thank 6th & Peabody, our amazing volunteers, sponsors and especially the artists enough for spending the day with us and raising a record amount of money,” says Campbell. “We started the Kenny Campbell Foundation in honor of my dad, and all of this money goes to very worthwhile causes.”

The inaugural Kenny Campbell Foundation Presents a Benefit Concert Featuring Craig Campbell & Bradley Gaskin at the Ryman Auditorium is set for July 24, and will also feature performances by Tyler Farr, Michael Ray, Bryan White, and Hailey Benedict.
