October is , and we're here to remind you that it's never too early to start thinking about your estate plans! Check out how you can join the 1872 Society and build your legacy through planned giving.

Since 1872, Chambliss Center for Children has helped shape the lives of generations of Chattanoogans. The 1872 Society honors the friends who carry that work forward by including Chambliss Center in their estate plans.

Child care is the workforce behind the workforce, and the challenges facing providers and families have never been more urgent. 💙

We're proud that our CEO, Katie Harbison, joined a community panel on the rising costs and growing pressures facing the child care industry. Thank you to Senator Watson for sitting down with our community, listening to providers and families, and taking part in this important conversation.

Conversations like this are how we build solutions that keep quality care within reach for every child and every family.

The 29th Annual Golf Tournament benefiting Chambliss Center for Children was held Monday, September 22, at Windstone Golf Club, hosted by our Partner-in-Education, Tennessee Valley Authority Nuclear.

Each year, two children from our childcare program join us, and this year their birthdays fell on tournament day, so our golfers made it a celebration to remember! 🎂 Thank you to our sponsors, our volunteers, and our friends at TVA for showing up for our children and families year after year. ⛳💙

A wonderful way to wrap up the day! 🌊☀️

A special "thank you" to Sara & Patrick Deal at IDeal Yachts for generously donating a boat ride for some of our administrative staff following a day of meetings. It was a fun and relaxing way to connect, unwind, and enjoy a little time on the water together.

We’re so grateful for their generosity and for helping make the day extra special. Thank you for supporting the work we do at Chambliss Center for Children! 💙
