| GAME ON AGAINST CANCER
March 1, 2013It's that time of year again...time to help a great cause and have a little fun at the same time! It's the second annual Game On Against Cancer to
benefit patient programs through the Thompson Cancer Survival Center in Knoxville. The money directly assists cancer patients with immediate incidental needs like wigs, transportation, food, and
lodging via The Thompson Cares Fund and The Fellowship Center. |
| In the Game On event, guests purchase
tickets that entitle them to food, drinks and the opportunity to play games against their favorite celebrity. There are close to 30 celebrities who donate their time for the friendly competition.
Con had so much fun with Blackjack last year, he signed up for the game again this year. |

...what would Carnac the Magnificent do? |
| Win or lose, it's a good
time for everybody! After his time at the Blackjack table, Con's got to make his way over to his next event - Corn-hole. |
| Both of Knoxville's Honorable
Mayors, Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett and Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero, were on hand to support this worthy cause. |

| In addition to money raised
from admission and games, the event also raises money through an on-site auction. A variety of items can be found up for bid - beauty products, sports memorabilia, gaming equipment, furniture, weekend
get-aways and more. Con and IMMI Records donated Con's Music Library and t-shirts. Not only that, but the winning bidder and a guest gets to luncheon with Con at one of his favorite Knoxville
restaurants, Litton's. Pretty cool prize, huh? |
| Con stops for a quick

| One of Con's favorite golf
sayings applies here, too..."Get in the hole!" |
| Did you see that?... It went in!! |
