Movements like Spirit of Memphis are what our city is all about – Memphians celebrating the many great qualities that make Memphis so special and unique. Let’s keep the ‘pep rally’ going all year long!”
— Memphis Mayor A C Wharton, Jr
Mission
The Spirit of Memphis is a Pep Rally for the City of Memphis that will turn the tide of the self-esteem of our citizens. The Pep Rally events and movements will help citizens become ambassadors and fall in love with their City again.
Goal
The Spirit of Memphis is a community service project created by Memphis Institute for Leadership Education (MILE). Together with our community partners we are helping facilitate a Pep Rally for the City of Memphis aimed at the hearts and minds of our Citizens in creating a sense of ambassadorship and ownership of the City! The Pep Rally will be a citywide movement of coordinated events that will be centered on three themes: favorite music, favorite food, and what you love about Memphis.
We want the citizens of Memphis to become ambassadors for the City and talk about the great things Memphis has to offer. The citizens of Memphis will host their own pep rallies in schools, churches, businesses, etc. The Spirit of Memphis brand and distribution system along with our community and press partners will help promote these events to help create a city wide celebration. Events will be posted on our site, so if you would like to attend as a group or post your event we can help you share your Spirit.
A successful Pep Rally can be a huge win for your team and can even help you build your business. The Spirit Team has created Spirit Kits to help make your event a success. We will connect you with other people holding Pep Rallies.
Get connected to the movement!
