The entire Memphis Women’s Basketball team showed up in full force at the MAM Classic—a city-wide youth basketball tournament hosted by Memphis Athletic Ministries (MAM). Through the 901 Fund, this appearance brought Tigers into the heart of the community, giving young athletes a day they won’t forget.
As teams from all over the city competed in the tournament, our Tigers were courtside—cheering them on, signing autographs, and taking time to connect with the players and their families. Dozens of young hoopers got the chance to meet their hometown heroes face-to-face, and it was clear just how much that meant to them.
At the 901 Fund, we believe that community engagement isn’t just an added bonus of NIL—it’s the purpose. When our athletes step into environments like the MAM Classic, they’re not just representing the University of Memphis; they’re investing in the city that supports them every day.
MAM has spent more than two decades creating safe, supportive spaces where Memphis youth can grow spiritually, academically, and athletically. Their work uplifts neighborhoods and offers a vision of hope for the next generation.
We’re honored to work alongside MAM and help create moments that matter. To support their mission or learn more, visit mamsports.org.
