Rascal Flatts to peform benefit show for Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital

RASCAL FLATTS is announcing today that their headline show at Nashville’s Sommet Center scheduled for October 17, 2008 will once again benefit the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. In the past three years, Rascal Flatts has donated 2.2 million dollars to the hospital from these Nashville concerts. Taylor Swift is the special guest.

“We have been overwhelmed by Nashville’s response to the Children’s Hospital benefit shows in the past three years,” said Gary LeVox. “It matters to us to give back and we can’t think of a better way to do that than to help right here in our own community. We have our fans and friends in Nashville to thank for being so generous.”

Tickets go on sale this Saturday, September 13 and are available at Ticketmaster outlets and www.ticketmaster.com.
