Oliver Family Initiatives

In the last two years of binding together as a community - Oliver Royale, The Oliver Hotel and Peter Kern Library have been committed to raising funds for a Knoxville-based organization or charity each quarter. We love an opportunity to give back to the city and community that we love.

Let’s dive into the organizations we chose and give you an opportunity to be a part of our Q2 initiative too!

Recapping our Q1 fundraising organization - Knoxville Area Urban League (KAUL)

In the first quarter of 2022, we partnered with the Knoxville Area Urban League (KAUL), a civil rights, economic development and social service organization, that came into existence in 1968 at the height of the civil rights movement to promote equal employment opportunities for African-Americans in Knoxville, Tennessee. The Knoxville Area Urban League is an affiliate of the National Urban League, the country’s oldest and largest community-based movement devoted to empowering African Americans to enter the economic and social mainstream. 

We were able to raise $2,255 for their workforce program that helps their mission of every adult in America having equal access to resources that enhance employment and job mobility, including post-secondary education and training.

Thank you for your continued support to our community!
