Opening Night at Neyland Stadium Serving Customers in Calhouns BBQ Shack

The Council 3175 Knights of Columbus have volunteered to run a large 3 window concession stand at Neyland Stadium for the 2021 Football season. This provides a way to raise funds for local and community projects. It was a busy night getting our feet wet with a big and hungry crowd!

Pictures below of some of our hard working Knights and family members towards the end of the game against Bowling Green when things were winding down.


UPDATE GAME 2! New stands to work with even more customers to serve!

The Knights were needed to help in a new section for game 2 and worked a set of 3 stands that was challenging but incuded even more customers to serve. The change added extra work and unfamiliarity, but will be easier next game and will include 2 of those 3 stands per our request.

Janet, Dave, John, Eric and Gene. Some of the Knights and spouses at stand 369 eager to open and serve.

Knights Auction for Handyman Work at Gala of Lights

The Knights were auctioned off to do a handyman project for the highest bidder at the Gala of Lights fundraising event night. The winner of the handyman project donated the benefit to her neighbor as a thank you for all her neighbor has done for her and her family. The Gala of lights raised over $50,000 for St. Mary’s School. The Knights helped with a basement office conversion by installing insulation and wall panels.
