Help Us Set the Table for Alumni Friendsgiving 🦃
The holidays are about the people who make life feel full: the ones who cheer you on, check in, and save you a seat at the table. For our Choose901 Alumni, that table is Memphis.
This November, we’re bringing our alumni together for a Memphis-style Friendsgiving, and we want you to help us set the table.
Our alumni are the next generation of teachers, leaders, creators, and changemakers in this city. Friendsgiving gives them a night to slow down, reconnect, build their network, and lean on each other as they grow into their next chapter. Every dish you donate helps make that happen.
🍽️ What’s on the Menu?
Picture a long table filled with BBQ ribs, Delta-style tamales, mac and cheese, and sweet potato pie, plus a room full of young Memphians who are building the future of this city.
Whether you’ve been part of the Give901 family for years or you’re brand new, this is an easy, meaningful way to show up for the people who make Memphis better.

Why It Matters
Friendsgiving is more than a meal. It’s a reminder to our alumni that they aren’t figuring out life after graduation alone, and that an entire city is cheering them on. When Memphis shows up for its young people, they show up for Memphis.
