Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett’s office is working with several local TV and radio stations to organize a telethon to benefit Mobile Meals on July 29.  As part of that effort, Q100 Today’s Continuous Country is hosting a benefit concert featuring Cassadee Pope, last year’s winner of NBC’s The Voice. The all-ages, family-friendly concert will be Monday, July 22 at the Cotton Eyed Joe.  Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m.  Children must be accompanied by an adult.

“This concert is a great way to help support the work of Mobile Meals, and it wouldn’t be possible without Commissioner Hammond, Q100 and the Cotton Eyed Joe,” said Mayor Burchett.

“Cassadee has been involved in stamping out hunger through her record label, Republic Nashville, and we are very pleased and excited that Cassadee has chosen to extend that work to Knox County by helping to raise money for Mobile Meals,” said Q100 Program Director and Knox County Commissioner Mike Hammond.
