(As a proactive measure against the COVID-19 virus, this event has been postponed until Oct. 23.)

The Boot Scootin’ Ball is an evening packed with music, line dancing, signature drinks, western-themed dinner, beer, bottomless souvenir glass and silent auction. The event, organized by the Knoxville Academy of Medicine (KAM) and Knoxville Area Project Access (KAPA), is a benefit for KAPA, a broad-based community charity created to provide access to health care for low-income, uninsured individuals in Knox County. KAPA is a program under the leadership of the KAM Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Knoxville Academy of Medicine, the medical society for Knox County physicians.
