Concerts For Our Own
Wraps Up 2025 Season with a Spooktacular MummFest and Big Community Impact!
On a cool and overcast Halloween Eve, the Tennessee Amphitheater came alive for the season finale of Concerts For Our Own (CFOO) — and the atmosphere couldn’t have been more perfect for MummFest, headlined by the funk-fueled, high-energy Here Come the Mummies.
The crowd came ready to celebrate in full Halloween spirit — singing, dancing, and showing off creative costumes under the canopy. The energy was electric as the night capped off with a heartfelt highlight: CFOO’s Chief Happiness Officer, Aaron Snukals, presented checks for $7,500 each to The Love Kitchen, Breast Connect, and Choice Health Network — a total of $22,500 donated this season, bringing the organization’s three-year total to nearly $83,000 raised for Knoxville-area charities.
“We couldn’t be more proud of what our community has accomplished together,” said Snukals. “Every ticket purchased, every sponsor’s support, every volunteer’s effort — it all adds up to real impact for people right here in East Tennessee.”
CFOO extends its deepest gratitude to its sponsors, volunteers, charity partners, artists, and the entire Knoxville community for helping turn great nights of live music into meaningful change.
As the 2025 season closes, Concerts For Our Own is already planning for 2026 — promising more music, more fun, and more opportunities to give back.

A Special Thank You to Our 2025 Charity Partners
Each year, Concerts For Our Own is honored to partner with local nonprofits that make a real and lasting difference in the lives of East Tennesseans. Our concerts may bring the music — but these organizations bring the heart.
In 2025, we were proud to support three extraordinary charities whose compassion and commitment strengthen our community every day:
The Love Kitchen – Providing food, clothing, and emergency assistance to Knoxville’s most vulnerable residents, ensuring that no one in our community goes hungry or forgotten.
Breast Connect – Empowering women facing a breast cancer diagnosis through education, emotional support, and vital resources that help them navigate their journey with courage and confidence.
Choice Health Network – Delivering compassionate care and essential health services that promote wellness, dignity, and hope across East Tennessee and beyond.
Your support of Concerts For Our Own directly fuels the life-changing work of these incredible organizations. Together, we’re turning up the volume on hope, healing, and community connection.
