Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce
The Auction: Charity Gala and Dinner Affair
Thursday, October 3, 2024 from 6-9pm
The Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce invites you to participate in our largest annual signature event The Auction: Charity Gala & Dinner Affair. As a 501(c)(06) not-for-profit organization that relies heavily on member investments, our auction is the highlight of our year. It is an enormous undertaking whose success depends on support from the many generous businesses connected to our chamber.
This year, we are EXCITED to donate 20% of item sales AND 20% of net operating proceeds to member non-profit, Smoky Mountain Service Dogs, whose mission is to enhance the physical and psychological quality of life for wounded Veterans by providing custom-trained mobility assistance service dogs (at no cost to the Veteran).
A portion of proceeds also supports our Continued Education Grant Program, providing scholarships of up to $500 for Chamber members, and The Auction allows us to expand our services to local and small businesses without added cost to them.
How can you help?
Tickets can be purchased online for $85 each, $750 for a Member Table of 10, or $850 for a Non-Member Table of 10. You can also call to reserve seats at 865-675-7057. Bring friends, clients, and associates for a fun-filled evening!
Thank you to our current 2024 Auction sponsors:
Our mission is to strengthen, promote and create business opportunities through relationships and education that encourage member success. We appreciate your much needed help in making this mission a reality and thank you for your generous support of this great event!
