Annual Banquet

ANNUAL GALA SET FOR JUNE 18, 2021!

.

Please join us for a night of Hollywood Glamour - Friday June 18, 2021 from 6pm - 10pm at The Barn at Maple Creek in Kingston!

February 2021 Update:  We are determined to bring Gala back!  However, we have rescheduled it to Friday, June 18, 2021 (from April 10, 2021) due to continued COVID-19 restrictions and recommended protocols.  However, in April, we are planning an online auction and will not hold a silent auction at the event in June.

We are so excited and appreciative about the huge response we have had from our sponsors, and are so thankful to announce that several of our sponsors last year donated their sponsorships and have committed to sponsoring again this year.  We are calling them Gala Champions because the Roane Alliance would not have been able to get through 2020 without them, not to mention they are all back on board as a 2021 Gala Sponsor!

We appreciate their continued support as sponsors at the 2021 event, along with all of our other committed sponsors, tables and ticket commitments.  Thank you for your support and patience!  Anyone who committed to buying tickets or tables will remain on the guest list unless you tell us otherwise and will have first priority for availability.   And its not too late to be a sponsor!  Space will be limited because of the unwavering support of our sponsors and regular attendees so if you are interested in sponsorship or a table  you will probably want to get on the list as soon as possible!

We are hopeful that Friday, June 18, will be safe, however, the safety of our community and attendees are our biggest concern and we will monitor the situation to ensure that date will work.  We want to hold a safe and fun event and are prepared to choose another date if that is warranted.   So we hope you will plan to attend, but also be patient and stay tuned as we get closer!

The Facebook event page has now become our online auction event so look for a new event to be added for June 18.  Please like and follow The Roane Alliance page also for updates on this event and more!

The Roane Alliance Gala has become a night that so many look forward to.  On this night we celebration what makes Roane County great and its many accomplishments.  This event has now been combined with the Roane Chamber's annual awards banquet so this is the only annual fundraising event for the Alliance, and now for the Chamber.  The money raised will go towards funding the Roane Alliance and its programs that are designed to increase Roane County’s economic prosperity, while also shared with the Chamber and its programs that are designed to help and support local businesses grow.  This event also provides a focus and a backdrop for networking and relationship-building opportunities locally, regionally and nationally that helps facilitate growth in Roane County.

For sponsorship information or to reserve a table or tickets please contact us at 865-376-2093 ext  200 or RSVP@roanealliance.org.   If you would like to donate to our live or silent auctions please let us know.  The Silent Auction will be held virtually in April so we are taking commitments and items now!

AUGUST UPDATE: This event will not be held on August 29. We are looking to reschedule for Spring 2021 and will make an announcement once the date is confirmed. Due to Executive Order No. 50, extending the state of emergency in TN until Aug 29, and rising cases in Roane County the Roane Alliance board members felt that rescheduling the event was the best decision to keep our staff, sponsors, friends, families, and all of Roane County safe. We have not canceled this Facebook event page because we want to make this change as easy as possible on those who planned to attend. This event page will be updated with the new date once it is confirmed. Please continue to follow The Roane Alliance for updates on this event and more! Thank you to all of our sponsors, supporters, and friends for your understanding and patience!

UPDATE JUNE 3, 2020: Thank you to everyone for their patience and understanding about postponing our annual fundraiser. We are hopeful that we will be able to hold this event if restrictions continue to be lifted. We are looking at Saturday, August 29 so hold that date and we will be making a decision in the coming weeks. We are so thankful for the continued support of our sponsors and attendees and love knowing that many of you are ready and want us to hold this event. That means so much since this event is such an important fundraiser for the Roane Alliance. Please share & stay tuned!

UPDATE MAY 20, 2020: First and foremost, the Roane Alliance is committed to making the best decisions to ensure the safety of our community. The Roane Alliance Board voted on Thursday to postpone the Roane Alliance Gala - A Night in Roane indefinitely. Therefore, the event will not be held on Friday, June 5. We are looking at a date later in the summer but we feel, at this time, that there are still too many unknowns to set another date. As details are announced for Phase 2 of Governor Lee’s plan for Reopening Tennessee Responsibly, we plan to reassess the situation and make a decision in the weeks to come. While we know this is disappointing, we hope you understand this is a necessary step to keep everyone safe during these unprecedented times. Thank you to all of our sponsors for your continued support of the Roane Alliance!

UPDATE MARCH 13, 2020: The Roane Alliance Gala is being rescheduled. We are working with our vendors to secure a new date sometime in early summer and will announce as soon as we know. We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding, and especially our sponsors!

The Roane Alliance Gala has become a night that so many look forward to.  A celebration of what makes Roane County great and its accomplishments, the event has now been combined with the Roane Chamber's annual awards banquet and will be held in the spring.

 

Please join us for 'A Night in Roane' on March 28, 2020
at the Barn at Maple Creek in Kingston!

 

The theme will be, naturally, the Roaring 20's, so plan now for a night of jazz music, flappers, and fun!

 

This is the primary annual fundraising event for the Alliance, and now for the Chamber. The money raised will go towards funding the Roane Alliance and its programs that are designed to increase Roane County’s economic prosperity, while also shared with the Chamber and its programs that are designed to help and support local businesses grow. This event also provides a focus and a backdrop for networking and relationship-building opportunities locally, regionally and nationally that helps facilitate growth in Roane County.
