First Annual Tracy Lawrence Mission Possible: For The Love

NASHVILLE, TN (Nashville Rescue Mission) -- Country music superstar Tracy Lawrence will be frying turkeys for the homeless men, women and children served by the Nashville Rescue Mission, Monday, November 20 in the Mission's parking lot at 639 Lafayette St. in Nashville. This special Thanksgiving event, the brainchild of Lawrence, is being held to create awareness of the services provided by the Mission as well as the ongoing need for contributions and community support for this organization.

"This will mark the First Annual Tracy Lawrence Mission Possible: For the Love event," says Lawrence. "We'll fire up the turkey pots bright and early at seven-a.m. in the Mission parking lot and start frying the birds�100 to be exact. We want local residents to come by, throw us a wave or toss out a 'hello,' and drop off canned food items, clothing, personal items, or cash donations. I'm hoping we have a huge turnout."

A host of generous local and national sponsors have stepped up to support this event. The list includes Bass Pro Shops, Crisco, and Wal-Mart among others. A complete list of sponsors and the detail of their participation will be announced in a separate release. Big D and Bubba from The Big 98-WSIX will be on site from 11am - 1pm with regular broadcast reports live throughout the mid-day show with air personality Newman.

The Nashville Rescue Mission feeds an average of 1,300 people a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The need is ongoing. "If we work together," says Lawrence "the Mission Is Possible." You can find more detail online at nashvillerescuemission.org
