Senator Ken Yager donates to Emory Valley Center from Annual Fundraiser


Sen. Ken Yager and Jennifer Enderson
Emory Valley Center was a recent beneficiary of Senator Ken Yager’s 25th Annual Chili Supper and Silent Auction held at Roane State Community College.

The event was extremely well attended, and proceeds raised from the silent auction were donated to several area agencies providing services to people with intellectual, developmental and physical disabilities.

Senator Yager has been a long-time advocate for people with disabilities and presented a check to Emory Valley Center’s President, Jennifer Enderson for $3,000 to help fulfill the organization’s mission.

Emory Valley Center is a local, independent 501(c)3 agency and has been supporting people with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities in our community for 64 years.

The agency currently provides a comprehensive array of educational, vocational, residential, rehabilitation and senior services, programs and support monthly to over 1,400 children, adults and families in 16 East Tennessee counties.
