COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — Country music superstar Eric Church will headline the 15th annual Memorial Tournament charity concert benefitting the alliance of Nationwide Children's Hospital, Eat. Learn. Play, and the Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation.
Church, the 2020 CMA Entertainer of the Year and a 10-time Grammy nominee, will headline the concert on June 2 at KEMBA Live! in Columbus.
Since its first year, the benefit concert has raised more than $800,000 for Nationwide Children's.
This is the inaugural year that Stephen and Ayesha Curry's Eat. Learn. Play. joins the Memorial Tournament as a collaborating charitable partner. In part, this year’s proceeds will benefit Nationwide Children’s programs and services that share the mission of Eat. Learn. Play., which includes fighting to end childhood hunger, improving literacy and access to quality education, and providing safe places for all children to play and be active.
