“We couldn’t be more excited to bring back America’s Most Patriotic Softball Game for 2026!” said Folds of Honor Tennessee Board President Robbie Goldsmith. “We are incredibly thankful to our sponsors, especially Black Rifle Coffee Company for returning as our title partner as we chase our goal of raising $1 million in one night for the children and spouses of American heroes. We cannot wait to release this year’s star-studded lineup, and I hope everyone can join us for our largest and most fun game yet!”
With the support of veteran-founded title sponsor Black Rifle Coffee Company, along with additional sponsors LKQ Corporation and Jockey, proceeds from the Rock ’N Jock Celebrity Softball Game will benefit Folds of Honor, a leading nonprofit organization that provides educational scholarships to the children and spouses of America’s fallen or disabled military service members and first responders.
Since its inception in 2007 by Lt. Col. Dan Rooney, the organization has awarded nearly 73,000 educational scholarships, totaling approximately $340 million in educational impact. Of those, 3,457 scholarships have been granted to students in Tennessee, totaling more than $16 million in educational impact in the community.
Past Rock ‘N Jock participants include Terry Bradshaw, Riley Green, Kane Brown, Jelly Roll, Missy Franklin, Warren Zeiders, Charles Esten, Brian Littrell of the Backstreet Boys, Bailey Zimmerman, Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC and many more.
