Annual Emerald Occasion Dinner
The 2021 annual Emerald Occasion Dinner in Chattanooga and Knoxville are cancelled due to ongoing covid-19 restrictions. Stay tuned for 2022 updates.
The Emerald Occasion Dinner is a significant fundraiser for CCETN, with an annual goal of $185,000. That translates into thousands of lives transformed for the better! Historically, the Emerald Occasion Dinner has had a different purpose in that it supports both CCETN programs and operations. Your gift to this non-event is life changing for our clients and sustaining for CCETN.
