The Tommy Jett Entertainers Reunion will move this year to the Silver Ballroom at the Sheraton Read House, 827 Broad St.
The 16th annual event is scheduled from 1 to 11 p.m. Sunday. It begins with a private reception for area entertainers at 1 p.m., then opens to the public at 3 p.m., with live music throughout the evening.
Another change taking place this year is that proceeds will go to the Chattanooga Area Food Bank, which meets the emergency food needs of more than 20,000 people every week in the 20 counties surrounding Chattanooga. A donation for the Food Bank will be requested at the door.
Jett, a Chattanooga broadcaster for more than 52 years, will be inducted into the Tennessee Radio Hall of Fame on May 4. He created the reunion as a way to bring area entertainers together and to raise money for a local charity.
Over the years, the event has raised thousands of dollars for charities such as the Shriners Burn Unit, March of Dimes, American Diabetes Association, hurricane victims, Nashville flood victims, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Chattanooga Hospice.
