As a favorite southeast Tennessee destination, we receive a high volume of donation requests each month. We are happy to consider a donation (4 general admission tickets) to other non-profit organizations when provided with the following details:
Name of non-profit organization
Name and date of fundraising event
Name/Title and contact information of non-profit organization representative
Mailing address
While we wish that we could grant all requests, as a non-profit organization we must limit the number of contributions we make annually. Donations are limited to one-per-year and must be submitted 6 weeks in advance of your event for approval and processing.
