Tracys Lend Their Voice to NFL Charity

5/23/2008 Patricia Montesinos Country Music artists Tracy Lawrence and Tracy Bird will share more than a first name June 28 at the House of Blues Music Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., when they perform for Fourth and Goal. The charity, started by former Baltimore Colts safety Bruce Laird, acts as the voice of retired NFL players and their families.  They seek improved pensions and disability for retired players and provide assistance for players and their families in need of immediate assistance. The event kicks off its inaugural Smith & Nephew Fourth and Goal Classic June 27 at the Showboat Casino in Atlantic City.  The two-day event hosts a celebrity golf tournament and silent auction.  The grand finale will feature a performance by both Tracys and fellow Country Music artist Pat Green. "I have been a huge football fan my entire life," Lawrence said in a GAC interview. "I think it is with great purpose that Fourth & Goal is generating an awareness surrounding the NFL players who are suffering from injuries and are now either unable to afford the treatment necessary or unable to secure a job outside of their sports career to sustain a normal lifestyle. I'm really excited in the opportunity to perform and raise money for Fourth & Goal, to lend a hand to help the legends with their hardships.
