In a unique format, the 4th Annual Franklin American Mortgage Charity Cup hosted by Brandt Snedeker will feature a four-ball Ryder Cup/Presidents Cup style competition between teams composed of alumni, administrators and celebrities from ACC and SEC schools. Snedeker, a Vanderbilt graduate, will captain the SEC team and Glover, a Clemson graduate, will captain the ACC team.

The event is scheduled for October 17 and 18 at The Golf Club of Tennessee near Nashville. This marks the fourth year of the event which has raised more than $150,000 for local charities since its inception.

"My wife Mandy and I really wanted to find a way to help our community which is still struggling today," said Snedeker, who grew up in Nashville. "We are committed to make this a special golf tournament that will create a positive result for those who are still struggling from this awful flood."

In May, a storm caused the Cumberland River to flood Nashville and the surrounding area. As a result, there were multiple deaths and over 1,000 homes destroyed. Today, many people are still homeless and businesses are struggling to recover.

"On behalf of the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl, we are excited to team with Mandy and Brandt as they seek to assist Middle Tennesseans impacted by the flood," said Scott Ramsey, president and CEO, Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl. "Thanks to the continued support of the Franklin American Mortgage Company, we look forward to the ongoing support and participation from our friends at the ACC and SEC as we work to raise awareness and funds for such a worthy cause."
