On Tuesday, April 16 NFL veteran, Super Bowl Champion and Football Analyst, Kevin Carter and co-host Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts hosted the 18th Annual Kevin Carter’s “Waiting for Wishes” Celebrity Waiters Dinner at The Palm Restaurant.
The celebrity-packed event was an exclusive, VIP evening where Carter and DeMarcus invited professional athletes, country music artists and various celebrities from all over the country to take over The Palm as servers before they headed over to Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row for the Official After-Party – “Jammin’ with Jay DeMarcus & Friends.”
The event continues to be one of the most unique celebrity events in the country and is considered a “must attend” event for patrons and participants alike.
The evening benefited The Kevin Carter Foundation and Make-A-Wish® Middle Tennessee, raising funds to help grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.
Nashville’s premier celebrity event has now raised more than $2.3 million for charity since its inception in 2002.
