"Comedy for a Cause," the theme of this year's Rocketown fundraiser, to be held at the popular Nashville-based youth outreach facility on Oct. 9, will feature an all-mobile bidding auction sponsored by Kroger and powered by MobileSmartBid. Among those items up for grabs are Atlanta Braves and Chicago Bears sports packages as well as a unique NYC/Carnegie Hall weekend that includes hotel accommodations for two and the opportunity to sing onstage with Michael W. Smith.
An annual event to help raise funds for the venue which serves at-risk youth, the 2012 benefit is chaired by last year's featured performer, comedian Jeff Foxworthy, and his wife Gregg. Coined "Comedy for a Cause," the evening will include performances by comics Jeff Allen and Henry Cho. All are invited to bid either at the event or remotely via their mobile phone on items including a VIP treatment in Miami, four tickets to a Chicago Bears game, and Atlanta Braves game tickets directly behind home plate complete with field passes. Auction items will be updated frequently at www.michaelwsmith.com or www.rocketown-auction.com, and the bidding goes live the week of Oct. 9.
