Pitch Nashville 2019 is tackling one of the most important topics of our day, healthcare. As Nashville booms, this industry has taken a stronghold in the city and attracted many young entrepreneurs as a result. On October 10th, you have the opportunity to hear from some of these bright young minds as they pitch their solutions to pressing issues to a panel of judges for a chance at a $2500 cash prize to further their mission!

Be sure to grab one of the VIP tickets (or even a whole table!) that are available. These tickets include a catered meal, a seat at the VIP tables, and four drink tickets.

General Admission is also available and includes two drink tickets and GA seating.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit our Charity of the Year, Special Olympics, so be sure to support this event!

Join the Nashville Junior Chamber as we help out our charity of the year, Special Olympics, with their Flag Football tournament. Teams will play three games each, and they'll need referees, cheerleaders, and other forms of help throughout the event.

Special Olympics Tennessee would not exist today and could not have been created without the time, energy, and dedication of thousands of volunteers. More than 15,000 volunteers dedicate their time to help children and adults with intellectual disabilities achieve their dreams.

Morning and afternoon shifts are available for volunteering, and there are a group of spots reserved for the NJC during the morning shift. Visit our Facebook event page to learn more and sign up for your shift!
