Chapter News & Events
Are you looking for the inside scoop on the Vols and Lady Vols for the upcoming seasons? You’ll find it when the 20th Annual Coca-Cola Big Orange Caravan kicks off on April 20 and runs through May 18.
This year’s caravan includes several stops across Tennessee as well as Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Ohio. The events are coordinated through the University of Tennessee Alumni Association chapter program and the Volunteer Athletics and Scholarship Fund (VASF).
The Coca-Cola Big Orange Caravan is an opportunity for donors, alumni, and fans to gain insight on last season’s successes and predictions on the season to come. Each event features a few of the Tennessee coaches, such as Pat Summitt, Bruce Pearl, Lane Kiffin, the "Voice of the Vols" Bob Kesling, and assistant coaches.
Check the schedule for the date and location that is most convenient for you. More information about event location, cost, and RSVP contact information will be available in February.*
If you have questions, call the alumni association office at (865) 974-3011 or the VASF office, (865) 974-1218.
