Tigers team up with Coaching for Literacy in the #Fight4Literacy presented by International Paper

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Tigers men's basketball team will host a #Fight4Literacy Game, presented by International Paper, on Thursday against SMU at 8 p.m. to promote childhood reading and the local literacy work of Knowledge Quest, STREETS, and Memphis Teachers Residency.

The coaching staff will wear #Green4Literacy lapel pins and wristbands in support of the #Fight4Literacy in Memphis. One hundred percent of funds raised through the #Fight4Literacy will give local kids crucial literacy training to combat the harrowing statistic that 67 percent of students in Tennessee are not reading at grade-level.
