Sponsor Unshattered
A sponsorship is an unrestricted gift made directly to the beneficiary nonprofits — tax-deductible, and never passing through our hands. What you choose is the moment of the evening when the room hears your name for it.
This is a room of 120 people, not a stadium. We are not selling impressions or a step-and-repeat.
What we offer is rarer: association and access. Your name woven into an evening Knoxville will talk about for a year — spoken by the host, printed where guests actually look, attached to a moment they’ll remember. And seats in a room full of the people you most want to be in a room with.
Your gift isn’t tied to the dinner or the bar — it goes to the nonprofits, whole. The element is where we thank you for it: one moment of the evening, carrying one sponsor’s name. When it’s claimed, it’s gone.
The centerpiece of the night — the long table, three courses, the room’s transformation. Your name on the menu at every place setting and a toast from the host between courses.

The live auction is the centerpiece of the night.
A real auctioneer, paddles in the air, and a room that is genuinely having fun. On the block: one-of-a-kind experiences donated by the night’s partners — and works by local artists, each created to tell the story of a survivor and the nonprofit that stood beside them, presented at dinner by the artists themselves. Every dollar a paddle raises goes straight to the nonprofits.

Quieter, and running the whole evening: a silent auction of smaller items, browsed between movements. It’s the easiest way into the night — a good fit for smaller businesses that want to be part of it.
Sponsors and auction donors don’t get a logo placement. Our media team makes you part of the story — three times.
A feature introduces you and why you said yes — published while Knoxville is watching for details.
Our media team covers your element as the night unfolds — with you in the frame.
Recap film and photography carry your credit — yours to keep and reuse.
Your gift goes directly to the nonprofit partners — unrestricted, tax-deductible, never passing through us. You can tell your board exactly where every dollar landed.
120 seats, curated, black tie. These are Knoxville’s builders, givers, and connectors — and you’re in the room with them.
“We made that night happen” is a better sentence than “our logo was on the banner.”
This night exists once. So does this association.
Sponsorships are unrestricted gifts made directly to the beneficiary nonprofit organizations — not payment for goods or services — and are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law; consult your tax advisor. A named element determines when your gift is recognized during the evening, not what it funds. One sponsor per named element — first committed, first confirmed. Benefactor-tier seats are provided with our thanks, scaled to the level; the exact count is confirmed at commitment. Beneficiary organizations are announced to sponsors before the public. Custom packages available.
Sponsorship conversations are happening now. Every element is exclusive — first committed, first confirmed.
