The 13th annual Super Bowl Gospel Celebration is sure to delight with singers like CeCe Winans, Donnie McClurkin, Wess Morgan, Hezekiah Walker, and Fantasia Barrino.

BET.com reports, this year’s host will be Wayne Brady.

Super Bowl XLVI will kick off with this traditional event on Friday Feb. 3 at Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The highlight of the Super Bowl Gospel Celebration is the NFL Choir. Featuring current and former players, the choir has become one of the most anticipated performances during Super Bowl Weekend. Celebrating its five-year anniversary, the NFL Choir made its debut at the 2008 show with more than 40 members, including Ray Lewis and Bryant McKinnie (Ravens), under the direction of McClurkin, who will reprise his role this year joined by Myron Butler.

Several Christian NFL players who wanted to share their faith through their musical talents in song and instrument formed the Choir. The group offers fans an opportunity to see a usually personal side of the players. The NFL Players Choir will celebrate its anniversary singing with “American Idol” Fantasia.

This year’s event will feature faith inspired video vignettes by several current and former NFL players including Ray Lewis and Ray Rice (Ravens), Hines Ward and LaMarr Woodley (Steelers), Derrick Brooks (retired Buccaneers), and former NFL Coach, Tony Dungy.

Since its creation in 1999, the Super Bowl Gospel Celebration has consistantly donated a portion of its proceeds and more than 5,000 tickets to local and national charities.

This year, Gary Brackett’s IMPACT Foundation has been selected as the local charitable partner.
