The event, slated for June 27-28 at the House of Blues in Atlantic City, N.J., includes a celebrity golf tournament and a concert.
Numerous retired NFL players have gone head-to-head against the Players Union, accusing it of under-funding the retirement needs of many older players whose careers began before the union gained strength at the bargaining table.
"I have been a huge football fan my entire life," Tracy Lawrence says. "I think it is with great purpose that Fourth & Goal is generating an awareness surrounding the NFL players who are suffering from injuries and are now either unable to afford the treatment necessary or unable to secure a job outside of their sports career to sustain a normal lifestyle. I'm really excited in the opportunity to perform and raise money for Fourth & Goal, to lend a hand to help the legends with their hardships."
The event is being put together by John Hannah Entertainment, named for a former New England Patriots lineman. Among the NFL figures expected to attend are Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Harry Carson, Ron Jaworski, Jack Youngblood, Ken Stabler, Joe DeLamielleure, Bruce Laird and Charlie Waters.
