Tennessee Titans to team up with Soles4Souls

Comcast Cable proudly announces players for the 2007 Comcast "Jeff Fisher & Friends" Charity Softball Game Presented by Regions Bank. The charity softball game is set for Saturday, June 23, 2007 at 7 PM at Greer Stadium.

"Friends" include Vince Young, Chris Hope, David Thornton, Kevin Mawae, Craig Hentrich, Keith Bulluck, Ben Troupe, Kerry Collins, Lamont Thompson, Cooper Wallace, Kenny Amato, Donnie Nickey, Danial Loper, Coach Norm Chow, Coach Alan "Music City Miracle" Lowry and Coach Steve Watterson. Other Alumni "Friends" include Steve McNair, Frank Wycheck and Chris Sanders. More players will be announced next week.


New this year, the Nashville-based charity, Soles4Souls Inc., the global organization dedicated to providing free footwear to people in need all over the world, will be conducting a shoe drive at the charity softball game for the Million Pair March campaign. Soles4Souls will be manning drop boxes and the Soles4Souls delivery truckwill be at the main gate at Greer Stadium so that fans may donate their shoes to this worthy cause.


Soles4Souls is asking fans to each donate one pair of new or 'gently worn' shoes and/or money for shipping the shoes to the Sudan, a notoriously poverty and war stricken area of the world. The first drop is scheduled for the Fall 2007 in the refugee camps of Southern Sudan, with more to follow. The Million Pair March has already been endorsed by some of Hollywood's finest, including Don Cheadle, Jessica Alba, Melissa Rivers, and Scarlett Johansson, who graciously had Reebok donate 2,000 pairs of shoes in her name to the cause.


Gates will open at 5:00 PM and parking is free. Early arrivals can watch pre-game activities such as an exhibition game played by the Little League Softball Clubs, the "Hit it Out of the Park"contest between the NFL Players. Admission is $10.00 for General Admission and $15.00 for Reserved Seats. In addition, the game has added a Kids' ticket, 12 and under, for $6.00. Tickets are on sale now through The Nashville Sounds ticket office or bycalling at 615/242-4371. Show your KrogerPlus card, Military or StudentID and get $1 off.
