MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis Athletics and Tennessee Department of Transportation's (TDOT) Nobody Trashes Tennessee public education campaign are joining forces for the annual Blue & Gray Cleanup Day during the City's 901 Day celebration. Held on Sept. 1, the community cleanup will include Memphis coaches, student-athletes and athletic department staff.
The annual event cleans up several roads around the University of Memphis campus and nearby neighborhoods. In addition to the beautification of Memphis communities, the event aims to help raise awareness of Tennessee's litter problem.
"We are very much looking forward to getting to work on Blue & Gray Cleanup Day," said University of Memphis Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Laird Veatch.
