2023 Legacy of Light – April 27, 2023

Middle Tennessee Christian School will host its 25th Legacy of Light on April 27. The annual spring fundraising event is essential for the school to fulfill its mission of providing Christ-centered, academically rigorous education in a nurturing environment that prepares and encourages students for lifelong learning and service in God’s kingdom.

The Legacy of Light has become one of the most talked about and anticipated events on our campus and in the community. We are thrilled that comedian and singer/songwriter Tim Hawkins will be the 2023 Legacy of Light speaker!

Hawkins has been sharing his original songs live alongside his stories and stand-up bits, averaging in excess of 100 shows annually for more than ten years. A committed family man, Hawkins built his career poking fun at the things in his world that he finds funny, intentionally keeping his comedy clean, without sacrificing the quality of his work. The Missouri native first began making a name for himself on YouTube where he posted anecdotes about homeschooling, marriage, and real-life mishaps. He has released eight full-length DVDs, as well as five albums, amassing fans thanks to countless song parodies like “Chick-fil-A,” where he proclaims his unadulterated love for the popular fast food chain; “Cletus, Take The Reel,” his ode to fishing loosely based on Carrie Underwood’s classic hit; and his most-streamed song, “Pretty Pink Tractor,” his original spin on a signature Jason Aldean track. His parodies have made him a YouTube sensation. A father of four and a grandfather of one, Hawkins’ main goal is to “make people laugh as hard as humanly possible.”

Don’t miss this night full of laughs and good clean fun. It’s going to be a great event! The Legacy of Light will be held in the MTCS Varsity Gym as a sponsors-only event. No general admission or reserved seat tickets will be sold.
