Seeds of Imagination Luncheon
We are overwhelmed by the support from our community and pleased to announce that all the seats are filled at our 2023 Seeds of Imagination Luncheon.
If you missed the chance to purchase a ticket, you may still make your presence felt through a donation to Imagination Library of Knox County.
We look forward to seeing our guests on Wednesday, September 27 from 11:30 to 1:00 at Cherokee Country Club for the 5th Annual Seeds of Imagination Luncheon.
The Seeds of Imagination Luncheon is a fundraising event to benefit Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Knox County. It's also a way to honor individuals and organizations that have made an impact on early literacy in East Tennessee.
Join us this year in honoring Ellie Kittrell, Director of Early Care and Education Systems at United Way of Great Knoxville.
Our past honorees include Pastor John Unthank (2022), the Labor and Delivery Nurses of Parkwest Medical Center (2021), Dr. Nick Geidner (2020), and Dr. Jinx Watson (2019).
