GrizzFam, the Memphis Grizzlies’ auxiliary group that supports the needs of the
community throughout the Mid-South region, is tipping-off their first ever
donation drive to benefit the GOOD+ Foundation. GrizzFam members consist of
wives, significant others and family members of the Grizzlies’ players, coaches
and basketball operations staff.
Through the #GrizzFamChallenge, the Grizzlies, their families, friends and fans
can donate diapers, wipes and gift cards to the GOOD+ Foundation which serves
children affected by multi-generational cycles of poverty and puts their
caregivers at a disadvantage to provide them with a brighter future. GrizzFam’s
goal is to challenge other NBA teams in a friendly competition to donate and
raise the most funds and supplies for local communities through GOOD+.
In their initiative, GrizzFam has challenged the families of the Golden State
Warriors via social media to match or out-donate them. If the Warriors choose to
accept, they in turn are encouraged to challenge another team of their choice,
creating an on-going NBA community initiative.
Fans who would like to donate and support the #GrizzFamChallenge can do so by
visiting give.goodplusfoundation.org/grizzlies.
