Organizers Larry Newman and Mary Ross said the Veterans Ball will be held Nov. 15 at the Star Center on Old Humboldt Road after outgrowing previous locations. The event will include formal welcomes, a grog bowl tradition, guest speaker Captain Roy "Outlaw" Cash, and a World War II veteran driven in from Linden, Tennessee.
Tickets can be purchased by phone ((423) 341-3330) or online at westtnveterans.com; organizers encouraged early purchases and said some tables remained available at the time of the broadcast. Newman noted proceeds support the Veterans in Crisis Fund, describing it as an emergency assistance program for veterans facing imminent needs such as utilities shutoffs or eviction. The hosts said the group is volunteer-run and reported helping about 143 veterans with just over $80,000 since Jan. 1; they emphasized rapid response to urgent cases.
Organizers asked attendees to bring cash and noted that donations also support broader assistance across West Tennessee. The segment closed with ticketing reminders and contact information for reservations.
