Tracy Lawrence announces stacked Mission: Possible 20th anniversary lineup

Fans who donate canned food items can win a signed guitar

Nineties country music icon and philanthropist Tracy Lawrence has announced the packed lineup for his 20th annual Mission: Possible Benefit Concert on November 25th at Luke Combs’ Category 10 in Nashville. In addition to Lawrence, the evening will include performances from Gretchen Wilson, Eric Paslay, Chris Cagle and special guests Halfway to Hazard. Tickets are on sale now for the beloved evening.

New this year, fans can bring canned food items to the event to donate to Second Harvest Food Bank to help support families and individuals facing food insecurity. For every five cans donated, participants will be entered into a raffle for a signed guitar. The guitar features signatures from Lawrence’s annual golf tournament, including some of country music’s biggest names like Lawrence, Vince Gill, Zach Top, Priscilla Block, Warren Zeiders, Gavin Adcock, Charles Esten and more. The raffle will take place onsite at the end of the evening. Last year, the concert raised $250,000 for the third year in a row for Mission: Possible, featuring performances by Lawrence, Russell Dickerson, Meghan Patrick, John Schneider and Halfway to Hazard. Past performers of the annual concert include Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, Tim McGraw, Jason Aldean, Chris Young, Cole Swindell, Justin Moore, Dustin Lynch, Lee Brice and more.

The milestone anniversary event will be bigger than ever before, aiming to feed over 36,000 people in need in Middle Tennessee through the Nashville Rescue Mission, eight surrounding county school systems and boots on the ground community organizations who provide for those in need. The day will kick off early morning on November 25 at the Nashville Fairgrounds. With the help of Cargill, The Poultry Federation and Operation BBQ, the event has expanded to feed more people in the community with 2,050 cooked turkeys – 450 more than last year – and 1,550 frozen turkeys distributed.

“I cannot believe we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the turkey fry,” Lawrence shares. “This event started with a few of my buddies in a church parking lot and only cooking 200 birds. Now our footprint has grown, and we’re cooking 2,000+ turkeys and feeding so many throughout Middle Tennessee. Big things!”

Since its inception, Lawrence’s Mission: Possible has fried over 10,000 turkeys, provided more than 86,000 meals to the homeless across Middle Tennessee, donated over $1 million to Nashville Rescue Mission and raised over $2.5 million, which helps to further its goals, advocate for those in need and expand their ability to support aligned causes.
