Knoxville, Tennessee --- Greater Knoxville SCORE chapter recognizes three winners in its annual "Client of the Year" competition. Creative Sports Images, Clark Miller Communications and Healthy Life Clinics, all successfully launched their businesses within the last year, and submitted written case histories describing their business and SCORE's support of their efforts.

Creative Sports Images, which placed first, is a sports merchandise firm. Creative Sports focuses on Universities and consumer merchandise for various team sports items and accessories through retail outlets. Murray Earle, founder, stated "without Arthur Kareff and SCORE's expertise and sincere interest, Creative Sports would not be here today.

Clark Miller Communications offers multi - media consulting to a diverse client base. His services make frequent use of worldwide business media to establish brands and client services. Richard Jenkins of SCORE Knoxville was the counselor.

Third place winner Healthy Life Clinic, Inc., a firm assisting medically underserved East Tennesseans, sees "Chuck Christiansen of SCORE invaluable in obtaining initial funding … and am now in the planning stages for more clinics." Clients of Healthy Life Clinic are frequently those without medical insurance or whose insurance was not accepted by other clinics.
