Former NFL Super Bowl Champion and now ESPN Sports Analyst, Kevin Carter, and Jay DeMarcus of the multi-award winning group Rascal Flatts, hosted the 15th Annual Kevin Carter's 'Waiting for Wishes” Celebrity Waiters Dinner at The Palm. The event was presented by The Campbell Family Foundation and HCA to benefit The Kevin Carter Foundation and Make-A-Wish® Middle Tennessee. This premier celebrity event reached a milestone as they have now raised more than $2 million for charity since its inception in 2002.
The celebrity event is an exclusive VIP evening where Carter and DeMarcus invite professional athletes, country music artists and other various celebrities to take over The Palm as servers before they head over to Honky Tonk Central for the Official After-Party – Jammin' with Jay DeMarcus & Friends. An eclectic mix of celebrities appear each year, and this year was no different as they celebrated 15 years of fundraising.
