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 that represents the participation and support of over 300 businesses each year! Join the fun and consider being a sponsor, item donor or attendee!
This year, we are EXCITED to donate 20% of item sales AND 20% of net operating proceeds to TWO member non-profits:
- Alzheimer’s Association—TN Chapter (Mission: to lead the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support) … AND …
- Alzheimer’s Tennessee (Mission: to serve those facing Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, to promote brain health through education, and to champion global research, prevention and treatment efforts)
A portion of proceeds always supports expansion of our ongoing Grants Programs, providing reimbursement grants of up to $500 for Chamber members. The Auction also allows us to expand our services to local and small businesses without added cost to them

Dress: The Auction is "Black Tie Optional" but thanks to this year's branding AND non-profit partners, we might call it PURPLE-Tie Optional! Please be encouraged to wear purple in any shade, while adhering to the below guidelines.
Black tie optional means guests have a choice to wear traditional black tie attire, such as a tuxedo for men and a full-length gown for women, or a formal suit with a tie for men and a cocktail dress or dressy pantsuit for women.
