Tracy Lawrence has announced the return of his 20th annual Mission: Possible Turkey Fry and Benefit Concert, taking place on November 25th at the Nashville Fairgrounds.
The milestone anniversary event is aming to feed over 32,000 people in need in Middle Tennessee through the Nashville Rescue Mission, eight surrounding county school systems, and boots on the ground community organizations who provide for those in need. With the help of Cargill, the Poultry Federation and Operation BBQ, the event has expanded to feed more people in the community with 2,000 cooked turkeys – 400 more than last year – and 1,200 frozen turkeys distributed.
A social post from Lawrence reads: “20 years of frying turkeys to help people in need! See y’all at @OfficialCat10 on 11/25 for the Mission:Possible Concert. Presale tickets are available starting at Noon CT TODAY using the code TURKEY25. Get yours at http://bit.ly/3UnnNvA“
Lawrence said in a statement: “I cannot believe we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the turkey fry. This event started with a few of my buddies in a church parking lot and only cooking 200 birds. Now our footprint has grown, and we’re cooking 2,000 turkeys and feeding so many throughout Middle Tennessee. Big things!”
To coincide with the event’s announcement, Lawrence has launched a new seasoning to join his growing line of cooking products: Tracy Lawrence’s All-Natural Seasoning is free from MSG, gluten, sugar and genetically modified organisms (non-GMO), and comes in four flavors – creole, garlic and onion salt, seasoning salt and cracked pepper garlic. The product is sold in select Scheel’s stores as well as Amazon and Lawrence’s website. Select profits from the seasoning benefit Lawrence’s Mission: Possible charity.
Lawrence adds: “Watching the successful launch of the marinade was inspiring. knew I wanted to continue to add to the product line with variations of seasoning flavors. These seasonings share the cleanliness of the marinade ingredients — gluten free, no MSG, no sugar and no artificial flavoring. That is really important to me when creating these products. I can’t wait for everyone to try them.”
Last year’s concert raised $250,000 and featured performances by Lawrence, Russell Dickerson, Meghan Patrick, John Schneider and Halfway To Hazard. Past performers of the annual concert include Tim McGraw, Luke Combs, Chris Young, Lainey Wilson, Jason Aldean, Cole Swindell, Justin Moore, Dustin Lynch, Lee Brice and more.
Lawrence’s Mission: Possible has fried over 10,000 turkeys, provided more than 86,000 meals to the homeless across Middle Tennessee, donated over $1M to Nashville Rescue Mission and raised over $2.5 million, which helps to further its goals, advocate for those in need and expand their ability to support aligned causes.
