Volunteering
We are firm believers that when sports are functioning at their absolute best, they are a powerful vehicle for creating positive change in the community. Thus, we are constantly striving to improve each of the communities to which we belong – supporters of One Knoxville SC, the city of Knoxville, the region of East Tennessee, and USL League One.
​
One Knoxville has been a model of community involvement and investment since its inception. As the club’s most vocal supporters, we believe it is our responsibility to be heard doing our fair share, no matter what form that ends up taking.
Knox Pride
We are thrilled to be able to support Knox Pride during the month of June each year. In our two years participating in Prideraiser, we have raised $700. We have also collected hundreds of dollars worth of food, clothing, and other items to assist in keeping Knox Pride's pantry supplied with their biggest needs. Participating in One Knoxville's annual Pride Night is a privilege, and we are looking forward to making Pride 2025 our most successful yet.
Youth Scholarships
"There's only One Knoxville" is not just about our town and our first team. It's about supporting the club at all levels, and that means showing our commitment to growing the game at all ages. In 2024, we launched our first ever fundraiser for youth club scholarships, and we raised more than $4,000. We put together a marathon relay team last year to promote the fundraiser, and we have plans to make 2025's fundraiser even bigger.
Scruffy City Cup
We hosted our first ever FC video game tournament in 2024 as a fundraiser for Emerald Youth Foundation. First-team striker Kempes Tekiela won the tournament (in dominant fashion), and he'll be out to repeat as champion in 2025. This year's tournament entry fees will go toward our youth club scholarship fundraiser. Follow our socials, and subscribe to our newsletter for details on registration this summer.
