Happy birthday to Tina Knight, MoxCar’s amazing brand storyteller! 📣🎉

In honor of her birthday, MoxCar is donating $100 to McNabb Center Military Services, which provides free support to military service members and their families. The providers are veterans themselves, offering firsthand understanding and compassionate care for veteran families.🎖️

“This picture was the first hug after my husband's second deployment with the Air Force supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in 2004, our first as a married couple," Tina said. "He was decorated for his achievements in many more deployments, but years of serving in war zones took a toll. Years later when we approached the brink of crisis, McNabb Military Services became a partner helping me work through issues that often arise when living with a veteran.”

Today, we celebrate Tina and the incredible heart she brings to MoxCar, our clients, her family, veterans causes and everywhere she goes! Drop a birthday wish in the comments.💙✨

The Theatre is proud to be partnering with McNabb Center for this week's engagement of Kimberly Akimbo!

The McNabb Center provides essential mental health, substance use, and social services to individuals and families across East Tennessee—offering support, stability, and compassionate care when it’s needed most.

Before the show, stop by The McNabb Center’s table in the lobby to learn more about their important work in our community or visit the bar to purchase our specialty mocktail to help us support the work they are doing. Kimberly Akimbo reminds us that life doesn’t always go according to plan—but having the right support system can make all the difference. 🌈

IPS Success Story
At 23, Gabriel was unemployed and struggling with significant mental health challenges. After enrolling in OnTrack TN through McNabb Center, he began receiving comprehensive support — including medication, therapy, peer support, case management, and employment assistance through the Individualized Placement and Support (IPS) model.

IPS recognizes that work is an essential part of mental health recovery. From the beginning, employment was a priority for Gabriel. As he shared during his assessment:
“I want to be able to get a consistent job.”

With support from IPS, Gabriel secured a position with a major local retailer. Today, he has been employed and hospitalization-free for 18 months.

Recovery isn’t always easy, but Gabriel now has control over his life and confidence that his mental health challenges won’t stop him from pursuing his goals.
