University of Memphis men's basketball assistant coach Cody Toppert has been named to the Coaches 4 Change committee, an organization founded by college basketball coaches dedicated to help their student-athletes, their campus and their communities.
The mission of C4C is to provide a platform that engages, educates, empowers, and evolves the collegiate student-athlete on issues of social injustices, systemic racism, and the power of voting in the endless pursuit of equality.
"Social Injustice and systematic racism have prevented the game of life from being played on a level playing field," Toppert said. "Being blessed with a platform to impact young men of all races and ethnicities who will continue on to be the leaders of the future is an honor I do not take likely.
