If you were hosting an event to benefit your favorite charity, chances are, you can name five or six friends who would help out with no hesitation at all. But when your name is Darius Rucker, that list just got a whole lot longer (and definitely more star-studded)!

On June 2, the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville will welcome the 5th annual Darius and Friends Benefit Concert. Darius and his buddies, Cassadee Pope, Clint Black, Corey Smith, David Nail, Eli Young Band, Kenny Rogers and Thompson Square, will all be performing at the sold out show and all proceeds will go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

On Tuesday, June 3, Darius and some more of his pals will be hanging out again - this time for the St. Jude Darius and Friends Golf Classic at Vanderbilt Legends Club in Franklin, Tennessee. The celebrity golfers this year? Charles Kelley, Colt Ford, David Nail, Derek Mason, Dustin Lynch, Eric Paslay, Jon Pardi, JT Hodges, Keifer Thompson, Randy Houser, Scott Hamilton, Tommy John, and, of course, Darius himself.

For $1500 registration fee, one threesome will be paired with a celebrity and a program director, for a total of five players per golf team. All players will enjoy breakfast and an 18-hole game of golf with a celebrity and golf cart. Each team will also receive a gift bag, driving range balls, lunch, course beverages and entrance into the awards ceremony following the tournament. Again, all proceeds will directly benefit St. Jude.

Since Rucker started supporting the wonderful hospital, his events have raised over $225,000.
