Welcome to the Junior League of Kingsport

"Bring Our Troops Home for Christmas"

Fundraiser

(Click Here for Chick-Fil-A Coupon)

The Junior League of Kingsport is joining with other community organizations to support the local 278th TN National Guard scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan in a few weeks.

On December 5, soldiers in the 278th will leave for a few weeks of training before deployment. JLK will host a breakfast for the soldiers and their families on that day -- we'll feed about 300 people.

In addition to the breakfast, a fundraiser to "Bring Our Soldiers Home for Christmas." The military will allow them to return home for a few days for Christmas with their families but is not providing transportation for the trip here and back. Some soldiers cannot afford the round trip cost, so funds are being raised locally to "Bring Our Soldiers Home for Christmas." Buses have been chartered, and the cost is approximately $130 per soldier. About $9,000 needs to be raised to bring all soldiers home.

So, a fundraiser has been planned at the Kingsport Stone Drive Chick-Fil-A on Thursday, November 19th from 4 pm 'til 9 pm. All you have to do is take the coupon (link above to print) with and go to Chick-Fil-A to eat!

If you are not able to attend the fundraiser and wish to contribute to the fund to bring soldiers home for Christmas, donations may be made by checks payable to "JLK.". You may mail donations to Junior League of Kingsport at 418 Shelby Street, Kingsport TN 37660.

The Junior League of Kingsport is made up of over 350 women dedicated to building a better community. Our membership consists of a wide range of backgrounds, interests, and skills. The common thread for these women is the Junior League mission to promote voluntarism, develop the potential of women, and improve our community.

The Kingsport chapter of the Junior League became affiliated with the Association of Junior Leagues in 1958. Influential women, such as Eleanor Roosevelt, played an important role as a member of the Junior League in the early years. Many other well-known community leaders have been members of the Junior League including the current First Lady, Laura Bush, Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, Shirley Temple-Black, Betty Ford, and Katherine Hepburn. Internationally, the Association of Junior Leagues International has nearly 300 Leagues in four countries with more than 200,000 members.

The Junior League of Kingsport serves hundreds of area families by developing and supporting responsive, effective programs that empower women to make a difference in the lives of those around them. League members work diligently to serve the physical, intellectual, emotional and social growth needs of women and children by volunteering time, building local partnerships, and raising funds.

If you are interested in making a meaningful impact in our community, contact the Junior League of Kingsport to explore membership opportunities, discuss potential community partnership opportunities, or lend your financial support.
