Roast of Hallerin Hill

Hallerin Hilton Hill has become a household name in Knoxville as a driving force in talk radio and a community activist. In celebration of his 20 year anniversary in Knoxville radio, Hallerin will undergo the ribbing and “roasting” of his friends and colleagues for the benefit of two local charities. Jim Haslam, II will serve as honorary chair of the event with Phil Williams as Master of Ceremonies. Celebrity Roasters will include Tim Burchett, Bobby Denton, Dave Foulk, Mickey Dearstone, LeRoy Thompson and other special guests. All proceeds of the Hallerin Hilton Hill Roast will go directly to a pair of charities selected by Hallerin: The Joy of Music School provides free weekly music lessons and instruments to disadvantaged and at-risk children using volunteer teachers from the Knoxville community. The Interfaith Health Clinic provides affordable medical care, dental care, mental health counseling and prescription medications for the working uninsured. The evening will start with drinks and heavy hors d’oeuvres at 7 p.m., followed by the program and roast at 8 p.m. Hallerin’s son, Hallerin Hilton Hill, II will perform at the opening of the program and the roasters are sure to entertain with their best stories and jabs. NewsTalk 98.7 would like to thank the presenting sponsor Pilot, and Platinum sponsor Home Federal Bank for their support of this event. Patron Supporters have the opportunity to honor Hallerin through a contribution of $500 to benefit the two charities. Patrons will be listed in the event program and on a commemorative item for Hallerin. Two complimentary tickets to the event are included.
