Legacy Parks Legacy Luncheon
September 25 @ 11:30 am - 5:00 pm
Legacy Parks Foundation announced today that they will host their annual Legacy Luncheon for the Parks on Friday, September 25th at 11:30am at Johnson University featuring guest speaker Conor Knighton.
A correspondent for CBS Sunday Morning, America’s top-rated Sunday news program, Knighton is the author of the New York Times bestselling book Leave Only Footprints: My Acadia-to-Zion Journey Through Every National Park. The book offers a behind-the-scenes account of the year Knighton spent visiting America’s national parks, weaving together lesser-known stories from the parks’ history with thoughtful reflections on their future and preservation. Knighton will shares witty, heartfelt stories of America, its people and its national parks.
The Legacy Luncheon for the Parks draws 1,000 civic, business, and community leaders for a picnic-style luncheon in a beautiful outdoor setting to celebrate Legacy Parks’ successful projects over the last year.
To date, Legacy Parks has invested more than $28 million in parks and trails, added over 700 acres of parkland in Knox County, and created over 60 miles of trails within Knoxville’s city limits.
Table sponsorship opportunities and individual tickets for this year’s luncheon are available online at legacyparks.org or by calling (865) 525-2585.
