Lady Antebellum Ping Pong & Songs Event Serves Double Dose of Fun

Lady Antebellum will put down mics and pick up paddles for their first-ever Ping Pong & Songs fundraiser. Set for March 23 in Nashville and inspired by their favorite backstage hobby as well as their obvious love for songwriting, the event will feature a celebrity ping-pong tournament and an in-the-round style songwriters' night. Both activities will benefit the group's newly created charitable initiative, LadyAID. Tickets for both portions of the event go on sale this Friday (Feb. 15) at 10:00 AM CT through LadyAID.org.

"This is really a dream day for us ... getting friends and fans together to play ping pong, play music and raise money for LadyAID," says the group's Dave Haywood. "Charles and I ... better known as 'the Dynasty' ... will challenge anyone who wants to try and take us at the table! It's going to be a total blast."

Registration to the tournament entitles participants to receive a commemorative player kit, along with two tickets to the finals and the concert portion of the event. Individual tournament finals tickets and ticket bundles are also available for purchase, with all proceeds benefitting LadyAID.

The multi-platinum trio set up LadyAid last year as a philanthropic effort created to bring awareness to and generate support for children in need locally, nationally and globally. The organization reaches children across the state of Tennessee through grants to Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. On a national level, LadyAID supports Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and on a global level, myLIFEspeaks and The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR). The LadyAID Fund is a component fund of the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.

Lady Antebellum is in the process of recording a new album, set for release later this year. The first single from the project, "Downtown," is rapidly climbing the charts.
