(Webster and Assoc) Lonestar will kick off the CMA Music Festival June 8 with the fifth annual "Lonestar & Friends Strike Out For The Kids," at Hermitage Lanes.

The sold out strike-and-spare bowling party where fans bowl alongside their favorite artists will raise money and awareness for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, one of the world's premier centers for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other catastrophic childhood diseases.

Celebrities like Chris Young, Buddy Jewell, Trent Tomlinson and Bo Bice will join Lonestar and host bowling lanes for the party, which is sponsored by Great American Country. Three lucky fans' names will be drawn to bowl a game with each artist. In addition, a silent auction will be held throughout the evening featuring unique items from some of country music's biggest stars, including custom-made bowling shirts autographed by each attending celebrity.

Net proceeds will benefit the groundbreaking research and lifesaving care at St. Jude.

In 2009, the Country Cares for St. Jude Kids� program celebrates 20 years of supporting the mission of St. Jude. The radio fundraising program began in 1989 after Randy Owen, lead singer of the music group ALABAMA, met St. Jude founder Danny Thomas. Since its inception, Country Cares has grown to be one of the most successful radio fundraising events in the nation with more than 200 radio station partners raising more than $345 million in pledges.
