901 Fund & Memphis Grindhouse Partnership

July 16, 2024

Supporting Student-Athletes with Every Sip

901 Fund is proud to announce its partnership with Memphis Grindhouse Coffee in the launch of the "Fueling NIL" campaign. This initiative aims to empower University of Memphis student-athletes by providing vital support through the sale of Memphis Grindhouse Coffee’s Charity Blend. Through this innovative partnership, $1.50 from every bag of Memphis Grindhouse Coffee Charity Blend sold will be donated to the 901 Fund. These funds will be specifically allocated to support NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) activities for University of Memphis student-athletes, helping them achieve success both on and off the field.

Clay Presley, co-founder and board member of 901 Fund, shares his enthusiasm about the partnership:

"We are thrilled to partner with Memphis Grindhouse Coffee in our mission to uplift University of Memphis student-athletes. Through the 'Fueling NIL' campaign, coffee lovers can make a tangible impact in the lives of these athletes while enjoying their favorite brew."

By purchasing the Charity Blend, consumers contribute directly to the success of University of Memphis student-athletes, fostering a sense of unity and support within the Memphis community while savoring a delicious cup of coffee.

Dwayne Chaffen, co-founder of Memphis Grindhouse Coffee, expresses his pride in the collaboration:
