BB Industries Hosts East Tennessee Veteran Open Golf Tournament
BB Industries is proud to host a team golfing event to raise funds for three local non-profit youth organizations: Naval Sea Cadet Corps, Young Marines, and Civil Air Patrol. These three groups are training future service members with foundational leadership skills, core values, character, and military bearing. “These 3 youth programs are mentored by veterans from all branches of service. These young men and women are well-deserving of our full support,” said T.J. Johnson, retired Navy Chief and BBI Customer Sales Representative, who is helping to organize the tournament.
The tournament will be held Saturday, April 15, 2023, with tee-off at 09:00 AM, and wrapping up at 01:00 PM EDT, at the Avalon Golf and Country Club, located at 700 Turnberry Circle, Lenoir City, TN 37772. An after-event barbecue will wrap up the golf tournament.

The United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps (Sea Cadets) is a maritime- based youth program sponsored by the U.S. Navy and supported by the U.S. Coast Guard.

The Civil Air Patrol
Since Civil Air Patrol’s formation during the earliest days of World War II, this vigilant organization of citizen Airmen has been committed to service to America. Founded on Dec. 1, 1941, to mobilize the nation’s civilian aviation resources for national defense service, CAP has evolved into a premier public service organization that still carries out emergency service missions when needed — in the air and on the ground. As a Total Force partner and auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, Civil Air Patrol is there to search for and find the lost, provide comfort in times of disaster and work to keep the homeland safe. Its 56,000 members selflessly devote their time, energy, and expertise toward the well-being of their communities, while also promoting aviation and related fields through aerospace/STEM education and helping shape future leaders through CAP’s cadet program.
