Read Time:2 Minute, 52 Second

📍 June 2, 2025 – First Horizon Park, Nashville, TN | 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM

Let’s be real—no other ballgame hits like this.

Back for its fifth inning of glory, Folds of Honor Tennessee’s Rock ’N Jock Celebrity Softball Game is swinging for something far greater than bragging rights. This year’s event is bringing serious heat to the diamond with a once-in-a-lifetime military tribute and a roster of stars ready to knock patriotism clear out of the park.

Set under the lights at First Horizon Park in Nashville, Rock ’N Jock 2025 isn’t just a game—it’s a heartfelt homage to the heroes who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice. And this year, it’s got backup: the United States Marine Corps is stepping up to the plate in celebration of its 250th anniversary.

🇺🇸 From the Field to the Frontlines

Two-hundred U.S. Marines will be in the stands—courtesy of Jockey International—and if that doesn’t give you chills, the pre-game ceremony will.

Picture this:

Talk about goosebumps and glory. This isn’t just a softball game. It’s a living love letter to service, legacy, and freedom.

“Hosting 200 Marines while celebrating 250 years of the Marine Corps is something we’ll never forget,” said Mark Fedyk, President and COO of Jockey. “This is about honoring tradition, service, and sacrifice—values we’ve stood by for generations.”

💬 Why It Matters

Founded in 2007 by Lt Col Dan Rooney, Folds of Honor began with a gut-punch moment—watching a family greet the flag-draped casket of their fallen Marine on an airport tarmac. That moment sparked a movement that’s now granted thousands of scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled military—and now, first responders too.

And while the softball game brings the fun, the mission brings the meaning.

And the hearts of every single person who believes that service deserves more than a thank-you—it deserves action.

Country Entertainment News

With over a decade of experience in NASCAR, I’ve built a dynamic career spanning media, public relations, sponsorship acquisitions, and brand representation. My 13-year journey included roles ranging from promotional model—as Miss Valvoline—to business owner, having launched an apparel line specifically tailored for female motorsports fans. I also owned and operated two media outlets within NASCAR, and my work behind the lens led to shooting for Getty Images at some of the sport’s biggest events. These diverse experiences gave me a 360-degree view of the motorsports industry, both on and off the track. Outside of NASCAR, I spent time working in minor league baseball with the Pioneer League—broadening my understanding of sports marketing and fan engagement in a different arena. In addition, I hold a degree in audio engineering and began my career in music at the renowned Sumet-Burnet studio in Dallas, Texas. Having grown up in recording studios from the age of nine, music has always been my first love. My time in Dallas also included hands-on experience in artist booking and management, where I supported emerging bands through label signings, tours, and the often unpredictable realities of the music business.
