KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – One Knoxville SC announced on Monday a new program called Goals for Good in partnership with United Way of Greater Knoxville (UWGK). The program will serve as a platform to give back to the local Knoxville community as the club enters the professional ranks this season in USL League One.
One Knox fans and business partners will have the opportunity to pledge a dollar amount per goal scored throughout the 2023 season. Each game, through Goals for Good, One Knox will champion and raise money in support of local nonprofits.
“We are so excited to continue our partnership with One Knox SC through the Goals for Good campaign,” said Matt Ryerson, United Way of Greater Knoxville President and CEO. “This program is a great example of the innovative ways we can all come together to pour into our community and have a huge impact.”
Goals for Good is driven by you, the community. We aim to bring together our fans, our business partners, and our Club in support of Knoxville-based causes we care deeply about.

“We are passionate about using soccer as a force for good in Knoxville,” said Sam Weisbrod, Executive Director of One Knoxville’s newly formed nonprofit arm, the One Knox Collective. “Through Goals for Good, we hope to encourage our fans to join us and collectively champion the local causes we care deeply about.”
