The Logan Wilson celebrity softball game and home run derby is scheduled for June 14 at Day Air Ballpark, home of the Dayton Dragons.

The Cincinnati Bengals' linebacker is expected to be joined by head coach Zac Taylor in addition to teammates Sam Hubbard, Jake Browning, assistant strength and conditioning coach Todd Hunt, Joe Bachie and Mike Hilton.

Since the event was announced, Germaine Pratt, BJ Hill, Hakeem Adeniji, Cam Taylor-Britt, Trayveon Williams, Drew Sample, Ted Karras and Dax Hill have been added to the list scheduled to participate.

Tickets for Dragons' season-ticket holders and corporate partners online went on sale last week. General public on-sale started Wednesday.

Gates are scheduled to open to the public at 5 p.m. on the 14th, with a home run derby starting at 6:00 and the celebrity softball game at about 7:30.

The event will feature a fundraising initiative for The Brooks Joshua Anderson Foundation. Wilson has worked closely with the foundation, a 501(c)3 Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) research program and scholarship fund. Dedicated in Brooks' name, it carries the legacy of Brooks and strives to end the mystery behind SIDS.

"I know the family of Brooks well," Wilson said in a news release. "I try to support the work they are doing in his memory however I can."

"Clear Vision is excited to bring this event to Day Air Ballpark, in the heart of the Water Street District, and raise awareness for a cause near to Wilson's heart," Clear Vision Marketing Group CEO Jermaine Herod said in the release.
