The Gift of Hope fundraising luncheon, which will honor longtime University of Tennessee Women’s Athletics Director Joan Cronan, is an opportunity to learn more about the services that the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley provides to youth in the community. This event is a fundraising luncheon, so at the conclusion of the program, guests will be asked to make a pledge or contribution to the Boys & Girls Clubs. Hallerin Hilton Hill will serve as master of ceremonies. The Gift of Hope Award was created to honor Emmet P. “Buck” and Linda Vaughn for their years of service and dedication.
