The annual charity event began in 2010, when comedian Rob Riggle enlisted fellow funny men Paul Rudd and Jason Sudeikis to help him create a poker tournament to raise money for Children's Mercy.
Fundraising efforts include a celebrity softball game, as well as a bowling tournament and the Big Slick party and show.
Eric Stonestreet and Selena Gomez are regulars at the A-list annual event.
Ariel announced last week that she would be heading to the Big Slick Ten charity event.

Meanwhile, Ariel recently revealed that switching her anti-depressants helped her lose weight.
The 21-year-old actress has constantly hit back at body-shaming trolls on social media who have criticized her slim figure and suggested she has had cosmetic surgery.

In April the actress decided to host an Instagram Stories Q&A with her 3.9 million followers to tackle their questions head on, with Ariel explaining that changing to a different medication enabled her to shed the pounds.
When one fan asked why she is so thin, she replied: 'For years I had been on anti-depressants that caused me to gain weight that I couldn't lose no matter what I did.
'It was always frustrating for me because I wanted to get fit and feel like the work I was doing was paying off, but never felt that way.
'I had accepted it and moved on. I stayed on these medications for so long because the process is really long and difficult.'
Ariel admitted that she was constantly 'feeling eh' and insisted it was nothing to do with her weight.

Whilst she is feeling 'better mentally' now, she wants to 'gain a few pounds in muscle' and get her 'butt back'.
She continued: 'I wasn't ready to go through it again so I just expected feeling eh instead of trying to find something to actually feel better.
'Last year I decided I was sick of feeling eh (had nothing to do with weight), so I started the process again and was able to find a great combination of medication that works for me.
'That change in medication instantly made me drop off all the weight I couldn't lose before by just giving me back a metabolism.'
