Now in its 15th year, Big Slick returns for biggest celebrity celebration yet starting May 31

Hometown heroes Paul Rudd, Rob Riggle, Jason Sudeikis, David Keochner, Eric Stonestreet, and Heidi Gardner return home, accompanied by a team of fellow celebrities to raise money for Children’s Mercy. Tickets for the event go on sale this week.

Big Slick started 15 years ago as a celebrity poker tournament hosted and founded by Riggle, Rudd, and Sudeikis. Over the years, the event has transformed into a multi-day weekend—This year’s featuring a celebrity softball game, along with a party and comedy show.

Over the years, Big Slick has raised over $21 million for pediatric cancer research at Children’s Mercy. The money raised by this event helps ensure that young patients battling cancer are able to receive the newest and greatest treatments and medications in pediatric oncology.

All celebrity attendees will participate in the softball game, as well as the comedy show and party. The Big Slick Celebrity Softball Game will take place at Kauffman Stadium, Friday, May 31. The game will be played prior to the Royals/Padres game later in the evening. Those with tickets to the May 31 Royal’s game will also have access to the celebrity softball game. The Big Slick Party & Show will be hosted at the T-Mobile Center Saturday, June 1, and will be the main event of the weekend.

Those willing to donate as much as $5,000 will receive the chance to attend a private cocktail party Thursday, May 30, with all participating celebrities.
