Mitchell Tenpenny knows how to throw a party—and he proved it at his 4th Annual Cornhole Tournament, raising an impressive $117,471 for ACM Lifting Lives. Held in Nashville, this year’s event wasn’t just about tossing bags; it was about tossing a lifeline to those in the music industry affected by cancer. With a lineup of fellow artists like Parker McCollum and Adam Doleac joining the fun, it’s clear that this was a high-stakes showdown. Who knew playing cornhole could feel like the Olympic finals?
What’s even more touching is the backstory behind Tenpenny’s efforts. Losing his father to cancer pushed him to create the 10Penny Fund, which aims to provide mental health support and essential needs for those battling the disease. Tenpenny wants to ensure that others have access to the resources his father didn’t, and that mental health is every bit as important as physical treatment. That’s the kind of dedication that gives hope and, let’s be honest, tugs at the heartstrings—who wouldn’t want to cheer for that?
I can’t help but wonder: if you could create your own charity event, what would it be for? With so many causes out there, it’s inspiring to see influencers using their platforms for good. Leave your thoughts below; who knows, maybe one of you will be the next big-name fundraiser in Nashville!
