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, Habitat for Humanity Knoxville, whose mission is to “put God’s love into action” and “bring people together to build homes, communities and hope” as they strive toward the vision of “a world where everyone has a decent place to live.”
 
A portion of proceeds also supports our Continuing Education Scholarship 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.
