In just nine days since ticket sales began, the fourth annual "Lonestar & Friends Strike Out for the Kids," bowling bash, presented by GAC, and benefiting St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, has SOLD OUT!

This year, Lonestar's St. Jude bowling bash will be held on Monday, June 2nd at the Hermitage Lanes in Hermitage, Tennessee. Lonestar called on some of their friends, some of the biggest names in country music, to join them for the annual event. Those scheduled to bowl with Lonestar include Trace Adkins, Jo Dee Messina, Little Big Town, Lady Antebellum, American Idol's Bo Bice, Josh Gracin and Diana DeGarmo, Trent Tomlinson, Joe Nichols, Jamie O'Neal, Darryl Worley, Chuck Wicks, Bryan White, Chris Young, Ty Herndon, Heidi Newfield and Crystal Shawanda.

This year's sell-out marks the fourth consecutive year the event has been a major success. Since Lonestar founded the annual event in 2004, it has SOLD OUT every year and has generated more than $70,000 for St. Jude.

"Knowing that this thing is already sold out is huge!" says Lonestar's founding member, Dean Sams. "I've got a gut feeling that this year's proceeds will beat out everything we've raised in the past!"

Those that have already purchased their tickets will be admitted into the event, enjoy dinner at the Hermitage Lanes and will be included in the random drawing for a chance to play on one of the celebrity bowling teams. For each artist in attendance, four lucky fans will be drawn at random to play in the games with their favorite country music stars.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to place bids in a silent auction, which will include signed photos, CD's and merchandise from some of the biggest stars in country music!

The "Lonestar & Friends Strike Out for the Kids" bowling bash is scheduled for 6-10 p.m. (CST) with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. (CST).
