We are excited to host our 2nd Annual Night of Champions event for the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Kingsport.

The Night of Champions brings individuals together for an ESPYS type award ceremony that recognizes the accomplishments of high school student athletes in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia communities. This event includes a meal, awards ceremony, and special guest.


In 2024, we hosted around 250 guests consisting of athletes, coaches, families and special guests at the Meadowview Conference Center and Resort. 

Hosted by News Channel 11 Sports Director Kenny Hawkins, guests had the opportunity to hear the accomplishments and highlights of some of our region's top athletes across multiple sports and hear the incredible story of perseverance in the face of adversity from Keynote Speaker Josh Dobbs, former Tennessee Vol and NFL QB. 

10 Athletes and teams were awarded in various categories and guests had opportunities to take pictures and interact with Josh Dobbs after the conclusion of the event. 


More information on date, time and speaker will be provided at a later date.
