Publishers Amy Campbell and Marc Rochelson celebrated their five-year anniversary with West Knoxville Lifestyle at the Sunsphere on May 13. The party was both a celebration and a “thank you” to the lifestyle publication’s many business partners, contributors, writers, photographers, readers, online audiences, and supporters who make the publication a meaningful and impactful endeavor each month.
“Our mission at West Knoxville Lifestyle is to shine a light on goodness in our community – specifically on the dedicated people in our community, some high profile, some working behind the scenes, who use their God-given talents to make our community a better place,” according to Amy. “We are honored to be able to work with quality business partners in our mission to share the compelling and entertaining behind-the-storefront stories of the people, businesses, and nonprofits that make Knoxville such a thriving community,” Marc added.
More than a celebration, Amy and Marc took the opportunity to raise funds for the 501(c)3 nonprofit Mountain Ways that exists to help others during times of need, ensuring that no one faces hardship alone. Thanks to ticket sales, donations, and the generous support of guests and community partners who donated silent auction items, the evening’s efforts raised money for the nonprofit’s work which is currently dedicated to Hurricane Helene recovery as well as future assistance for Mountain Ways programs in the Appalachian Region. The youth Moonshot program gives Sevier and Cocke County students the opportunity to safely push themselves beyond their perceived limits and discover their true potential through educational experiences and outdoor adventure expeditions.
Mountain Ways Executive Director Lori Moore presented a program explaining their ongoing work in East Tennessee and North Carolina mountain communities in need, as well as the Moonshot program. To donate and discover more about Mountain Ways, please visit MTNWays.org
