Additional players will be added in the coming days.
The players in attendance will "tackle" the task of cooking and serving pizzas to guests, pose for photographs, sign autographs and generally yuck it up, while fans bid on some unique and priceless silent auction pieces, including authentic autographed Titans helmets, cleats, footballs, jerseys, original art, concert tickets, memorabilia signed by country music celebrities and more!
In its fifth year, Hope created this "fan-friendly" charity event for all ages to gather friends, including current and former NFL players and other local celebrities that fans have grown to know and love.
