The Buckhead Church announced Aug. 1 that comedian Jeff Foxworthy will headline the church’s Backyard Bash on Sept. 22 at 7:30 p.m.

Foxworthy, a member of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour made famous by his “you might be a redneck” routine, is a long-time supporter of Northpoint Ministries. Buckhead Church, founded in 2001, is one of the five campuses of North Point Ministries. Last year, the Backyard Bash raised $150,000 for three nonprofit organizations serving the North Fulton area near North Point Community Church.
