We are excited to welcome Matt and Brook Cunningham as the Chairs for this year’s Knoxville Hope Gala, Hustlin’ for Hope: Turning Disco into Impact.
Eager and energized to take on this role, Matt and Brook are already helping set the stage for an evening rooted in purpose, creativity, and community. Their excitement for the mission of the American Cancer Society is contagious, and we’re grateful for their leadership as planning gets underway.
More details coming soon—we look forward to sharing how Matt and Brook are helping shape an unforgettable night in support of hope and impact across East Tennessee.
The leadership of the Knoxville Hope Gala is made up of a planning committee dedicated group of individuals who come together every month to discuss and prepare for the upcoming event. Their philanthropic spirit and passion for making a difference shine through their efforts. With each meeting, they bring new ideas and strategies to ensure that the gala is a memorable and impactful experience. Together, they work tirelessly to create an event that not only raises funds but also spreads hope and inspires change.
