Every September, golfers from across East Tennessee gather for a day of fellowship, friendly competition, and most importantly—compassion. On Thursday, September 11, we invite you to join us at Willow Creek Golf Club in Farragut for the 22nd Annual Chick-fil-A Knoxville & Mission of Hope Golf Classic.
This long-standing event is more than a tournament—it’s a way to make a tangible difference in the lives of children and families living in rural Appalachian communities. Each registration, sponsorship, and donation directly supports Mission of Hope’s efforts to serve areas facing some of the highest poverty levels in our region.
Over the past two decades, this golf classic has helped fund vital programs that bring hope to those who need it most—providing food, hygiene items, school supplies, Christmas gifts, and college scholarships to students and families across 29 Appalachian schools and their communities.
A Day That Gives Back All Year Long
When you join us on the course, you’re not just enjoying a round of golf—you’re stepping into a story of hope. Whether you’re sponsoring a hole, registering a team, or donating a prize, your involvement becomes part of the mission.
What to Expect:
- Morning and afternoon rounds available
- All meals provided by Chick-fil-A
- Sponsor recognition, giveaways, and on-course contests
- A meaningful way to give back while enjoying a day on the green
Every detail of the day is made possible by the generous support of local businesses, volunteers, and friends of the ministry who believe in the work we do. Chick-fil-A Knoxville, our presenting sponsor, provides all meals for the day, and many community partners contribute prizes and support to make the event extra special for our participants.
A Word from Mission of Hope
“Each year, we are blown away by the community’s support for this tournament,” says Becky Mills, Operations Assistant at Mission of Hope. “It’s always an incredible day of fun and fellowship, but more importantly, it helps us meet real needs in rural communities where hope can feel out of reach. The impact goes far beyond the golf course. Every team, every hole sponsor, every volunteer—they all play a part in sharing hope.”
Join the Mission
We would love to see you on the course this September. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or joining us for the first time, you are helping Mission of Hope continue its mission to serve with compassion and consistency.
