As part of the Women’s History Month Celebrations, the Memphis Grizzlies will
host their International Women’s Day game tomorrow, March 8 when the Grizzlies
take on the Utah Jazz at 7 p.m. at FedExForum.
Tomorrow’s game will also feature an all-female entertainment lineup with
Grizzlies Basketball Operations Analyst Nicki Gross as the game’s PA Announcer.
Fans will want to head to their seats before tip-off as Grizzlies forward Jaren
Jackson Jr. will give the player’s address before the St. Mary’s Episcopal
School Chamber Ensemble takes the court for the National Anthem. Attendees will
also be treated to a special halftime performance when JCKSN AVENUE, a five
sister sibling group, joins the Grizzlies Live Entertainment Team for a halftime
female empowerment salute.
Plus, throughout the month, the Grizzlies are recognizing and saluting women’s
contributions to sports and society through a Celebrating HERstory platform with
a series of in-game recognitions and features that will highlight female
individuals throughout the Grizzlies organization. During tomorrow’s matchup,
the Grizzlies will recognize Chantal Hassard, Vice President of Team Operations
and Player Programs, for her work as one of only a few female executives in her
position across the league.
In addition, individuals across the Grizzlies organization will be sporting
Celebrate HERstory t-shirts throughout the night in celebration of International
Women’s Day. Fans can also head to the Grizzlies Den by Fanatics tomorrow and
receive 25% off all women’s apparel and headwear while supplies last.
