Habitat for Humanity of Greater Chattanooga announces that ticket sales are now live for “Blueprints for the Future,” a reimagined fundraising event to benefit Chattanooga’s future Habitat Homeowners.
As Habitat Chattanooga’s signature fall fundraising event, Blueprints brings the community together to celebrate the power of safe, stable housing and the lasting impact it creates for local families.
Chaired by Mark and Christine Feemster, Blueprints returns to the First Horizon Pavilion for its second year and will take place on Thursday, September 24, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM.
Guests enjoy an unforgettable night of music, great food, refreshing drinks, and meaningful connection, all while supporting families on their journey toward strength, stability, and self-reliance through affordable homeownership.
Joining the event as keynote is Inky Johnson: husband, father, motivational speaker, and former Tennessee Vol. A standout cornerback and two-year team captain at the University of Tennessee, Johnson was projected as a top NFL draft pick before a life-threatening injury during a 2006 game left his right arm permanently paralyzed.
Rather than allowing that moment to define him, Inky turned his experience into a mission to help others rise above challenges and live with purpose. This September, he joins Habitat Chattanooga to support affordable home ownership.
Area Executive for Pinnacle Bank’s Chattanooga Client Advisory Group and Habitat Chattanooga Board Member Mark Feemster and life-long educator and former two-school PTA President Christine Feemster lead Blueprints as co-chairs, working to further the mission of Habitat and support the community.
“We couldn’t be happier to support Blueprints for the Future, and more importantly, Habitat’s mission,” the Feemsters said. “We invite the community to join us on September 24th to hear incredible remarks, and learn more about what makes this work so important to us.”
“Our community is the reason for the success of Blueprint’s first year, and we’re so excited to bring it back again on our 40th anniversary,” noted Jens Christensen, Habitat Chattanooga CEO. “Even after four decades, the need for affordable housing is more demanding than ever, and it takes a community to support our neighbors. We’re so excited for this event, and couldn’t be more appreciative of the Feemsters’ and Inky Johnson’s support.”
