Craig Morgan, Darryl Worley Plan Charity Events

Craig Morgan Hosts 5K in August

Craig Morgan is hosting his second annual Billy’s Place 5K on Aug. 22 at Montgomery Bell State Park in Dickson, TN.

Registration for the benefit run is $30 in advance and $35 for walkup on day of race, and tickets for children seven and under are free. Spirit tickets for supporters who would rather cheer from the sidelines are available as well. Everyone registered by Aug. 1 receives an official race T-shirt.

Runners and walkers can sign up for the event at www.eventbrite.com. Proceeds from the run support the foster children under care in Dickson County and throughout Middle Tennessee through the Dickson County Craig Morgan Foundation.

Darryl Worley’s Annual Tennessee River Run events will span July through October this year leading up to the main concert event Oct. 3 in downtown Savannah, TN featuring Worley, Wade Hayes, Tracy Lawrence, and Lorrie Morgan.

On July 28, Worley will host the Darryl Worley and Friends Songwriters Event featuring Mark Collie, Daryle Singletary, and Jim Moose Brown along with Worley at the Bumpus Harley Davidson in Jackson, TN. A boat poker run is also slated for Aug. 15 at Pickwick Landing State Park, and a golf tournament, bass tournament, and 5K run are also all on tap leading up to the main Savannah events in October. Worley will also perform with Mark Narmore, Walt Aldridge, Wynn Varble, and Jim Moose Brown on the lawn of Savannah Mayor Bob Shutt’s historic home Oct. 2.

The Darryl Worley Foundation serves nonprofits, including St. Jude, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and the Darryl Worley Cancer Treatment Center. This year the foundation will help Hardin County Middle School implement The Leader in Me, a curriculum that encourages leadership skills in all students. The Foundation is currently working with area agencies to plan a wellness center to support drug and alcohol addicts and their families.
