EVENTS

Memphis Mayor Paul Young Inauguration Weekend 2024

Thank you so much for supporting the Inauguration Weekend events! Each event was special and contributed to the spirit of hope and positive energy we feel for our City. The Inauguration Gala was the perfect way to wrap up a weekend of festivities. A black-tie event that celebrates local chefs providing a Taste of Memphis experience, music, and everything that makes Memphis great. Proceeds from the event went toward helping Memphis Youth.

SUPPORTING MEMPHIS YOUTH

Donated $15,000 to PURE Youth Academy.

We’re happy to announce that proceeds from the Gala allowed Forward 901, Inc. to donate $15,000 to PURE Youth Academy. This non-profit organization provides education, athletics, and living experiences to help students develop critical thinking skills and character to become productive men who contribute positively to their community.
