Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating TKCC’s 20th Anniversary and the launch of our new partnership with FirstBank.
This celebration was a meaningful opportunity to reflect on two decades of service, growth, and community. Twenty years ago, the founders of TKCC had the vision, courage, and commitment to plant a seed that has grown into the organization and community resource we know today. We are deeply grateful for their leadership and for the foundation they created for generations to come.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to everyone who has contributed to TKCC in any capacity over the years. Thank you to our supporters, sponsors, partners, volunteers, friends, and community members who have believed in our mission and helped make our work possible.
TKCC is honored and proud to serve the Kurdish community in Nashville and beyond. Over the past 20 years, we have accomplished so much together through programs, services, cultural events, advocacy, education, and community support. We are proud of our dedication to our people and remain committed to meeting the needs of our community.
We also want to recognize the many Kurdish organizations that have stood beside us throughout the years. Thank you for your partnership, collaboration, and unwavering support. Our progress has always been a shared achievement, and we value the strength that comes from working together.
Most importantly, thank you to our community for trusting and supporting TKCC throughout this journey. Our success has always been rooted in our community. TKCC’s services are for the community, by the community.
As we celebrate this important milestone, we are also proud to officially announce our new partnership with FirstBank. We are grateful to FirstBank for becoming an official sponsor of TKCC and for investing in the future of our community. This partnership represents an exciting new chapter and will help strengthen our ability to continue serving, supporting, and uplifting the Kurdish community.
Thank you again for celebrating with us and for being part of TKCC’s story. We look forward to continuing this journey together—and to serving our community for the next 20 years and beyond.
