Tremont Institute benefits from Pint Night at West Hills Flats and Taps
TOWNSEND— Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont is partnering with Grayson Subaru and West Hills Flats and Taps for “A Toast to Tremont,” an event benefiting Tremont’s scholarship fund. This free event has live music, a great menu of flatbreads, games of all kinds, and a wide selection of craft beer.
Proceeds from the event go to scholarships for students to attend Tremont Institute’s outdoor education programs. This unique experience allows students to live and learn in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. For many students, it is their first experience in a national park.
The event takes place at West Hills Flats and Taps in Knoxville on Thursday, August 24. The fun kicks off at 6:00 pm and comes to a close at 10:00 pm. No registration is required and admission is free.
“A Toast to Tremont is possible because of the support and careful planning of West Hills Flats and Taps and Grayson Subaru. We are grateful for their enthusiasm, generosity, and passion for Tremont’s mission. Come join us as we celebrate connecting people with nature with a terrific group of community supporters,” says Dr. Jennifer Jones, President and CEO of Tremont Institute.
Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont has provided hands-on education through local, personal, and relevant programs within the 500,000-acre classroom of Great Smoky Mountains National Park since 1969. For many students, it is their first opportunity to learn outdoors, participate in hands-on science, and explore a national park. With a mission of “connecting people and nature,” Tremont Institute is able to develop a personal connection between participants and nature and increase interest in science learning. They accomplish this through direct interaction with participants on their campus and the training of teachers within the community. In recent years, Tremont Institute has made it a strategic priority to provide these experiences for underserved communities in order to make meaningful education for all people.
Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing in-depth experiences through education programs that celebrate ecological and cultural diversity, foster stewardship, and nurture appreciation of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Tremont welcomes all ages to step away from their daily routine to learn, reflect and grow while living in the heart of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
