Locked Down On the Outside is a non-profit organization based in Knoxville, Tennessee, that aims to reach young people before they become incarcerated. The program engages youth in a weekend of activities focused on discipline, teamwork, and an introduction to Christ. Following the weekend, the organization provides 11 months of mentoring activities for the participants. Since its establishment in 2002, the organization has been actively involved in the community and has reached over 600 children. They are currently seeking volunteers and mentors for their program and events. The organization is hosting a fundraiser on July 11, 2019, at Bearden Banquet Hall in Knoxville. Supporters can sponsor a table of eight for $200 or purchase a single ticket for $25. The event will include a silent auction, buffet dinner, and entertainment by youths participating in the program. The keynote speaker for the event will be Alphonso Richard, owner of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Atlanta and former football defensive tackle at Clemson University. The funds raised from the event will go towards $1,000 scholarships for participants who complete the program and maintain a 3.0 grade point average in college. For more information about sponsorships, tickets, and volunteering opportunities, interested individuals can contact the organization via email or phone.
