The Emerald Youth Foundation will hold its annual dinner, now in its 13th year, to honor a community leader who is making a difference in the lives of city children, and, in 2021, celebrate Emerald Youth’s 30th anniversary. Alvin Nance, CEO of Development for LHP Capital, will be the 2021 honoree. Doors open at 5:45 p.m. for a walk-through experience of the past 30 years, and the program begins at 6:30 p.m. Emerald Youth serves young people in center-city Knoxville through a Christian ministry of faith, education and sports programs, conducted in partnership with neighborhood churches and organizations.
