Kenny Rogers says he doesn’t perform songs but “memory creators.”
The singer/songwriter, once voted Favorite Singer of All-Time in a joint USA Today/People poll, will be the featured entertainer at Siskin Children’s Institute’s annual StarNight fundraiser Saturday, Aug. 13, at the Chattanooga Convention Center.
Reservations for the full gala will be accepted through 5 p.m. Monday. Cutoff for the concert and after-party is 5 p.m. Thursday. Proceeds help the organization serve children with special needs and their families.
Rogers was secured to perform — between events in South Dakota and Canada — when Kenny Loggins was forced to cancel his appearance because of medical problems.
“It’s such a great cause,” he said. “To be part of it is really an honor.”
