Celebrities will be converging on Cheney Stadium Sept. 21. That’s when Tacoma Rainiers co-Owner, Nick Lachey, will headline the Multicare Celebrity Softball Game, which will help raise money for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Tacoma General Hospital. Last year, a weekend of events helped raise more than $750,000 for the NICU and MultiCare Health Foundation.

“I’m excited to get back up to Cheney Stadium and once again, take part in the Celebrity Softball Game,” said Lachey. “This is always a great event and besides having loads of fun, we’re hoping to raise a lot of money for a great cause.”

Fans will have a chance to catch Lachey, fellow celebrities, and local media representatives that Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. when the softball game kicks-off. Among the celebrities currently signed up for the game are Vanessa Minnillo, Cris Judd, Jeff Nelson, and Aimee Wright.

Tickets are available at TacomaRainiers.com and TacomaCelebrityWeekend.org, as well as at the Cheney Stadium Box Office. Tickets range from $15 to $40.
