Telethon with Guy Fieri

Last Night's telethon was a success! The telethon was broadcast on all 3 television networks to show that we can unite as a community for the United Way! The telethon was held at the Bijou theatre and hosted by Hallerin Hilton Hill and Guy Fieri of Food Network.


Guy is the host of Diners, Drive ins and Dives. He spoke about the episode where he highlighted Knoxville's own Pizza Palace on Magnolia. Although he did not mention it on air, Guy revealed earlier that day that it's one of his 2 favorite places to get pizza. The other place is in South Chicago!


The Telethon's goal was to unite the community and raise $250,000 for the United Way of Greater Knoxville!


KingBilly performed on stage as the telethon continued. Their style is best described as country, rock, and blue grass!

Guy and Hallerin talked about the United Way Auction that kicked off last night. Ever After is a proud sponsor of United Way. Look at the auction for a bridal shower and rehearsal dinner package from us! You can also bid on signed UT items, books, guitars, etc.


The telethon was just a kick off! We raised over $254,000 to exceed our first goal. Now we are looking to the online auction, spare change drive, and Pilot pumpers events to make up the total that is needed to serve Knoxville's less fortunate!

Get bidding!
