Nashville’s premiere celebrity event, “Waiting for Wishes” has raised more than $1.7 million for charity since its inception in 2002. The annual event is expected to sell out and tickets are limited. The event raises funds to help grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.
The celebrity event, co-hosted by Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts, is an exclusive, VIP evening where Carter, NFL teammates, other professional athletes and country music artists along with various celebrities take over The Palm as servers before they head over to Honky Tonk Central for the Official After-Party – Jam with Jay DeMarcus & Friends. The event, presented by HCA, continues to be one of the most unique celebrity events in the country and is considered a “must attend” event for patrons and participants alike.
This year, country artists such as Scotty McCreery, Chris Young, Dustin Lynch, Frankie Ballard, 80’s Pop Singers Rick Springfield and Tiffany, ABC’s TV hit NASHVILLE’s Chip Esten (Deacon), NFL Vikings Jared Allen, Olympic Skater Scott Hamilton, America’s Got Talent’s Jimmy Rose, Big Brother’s Jeff Schroder, the Voice of the UFC Mike Goldberg and champion boxer Antonio Tarver will be making appearances at the event.
