Memphis Grizzlies Statement Regarding Chattanooga Bus Tragedy

The Memphis Grizzlies family is deeply saddened by the school bus crash last week in Chattanooga, TN, leaving six children dead and several more critically injured.

Our hearts and prayers are with all the families with children on the bus that day.  When the life of a young person is cut short, we all suffer. Our Tennessee community suffers from the loss of potential and the promise of that young life; and, of course, the families who surrounded these children suffer the loss of a loved one.

The Grizzlies have made a donation to The Woodmore Fund, benefiting Woodmore Elementary School families affected by the crash, and encourage fans who are able to contribute to do so also.

In addition to the donation, our beloved mascot Grizz and the Grizz Girls are planning a road trip to Chattanooga this December with toys and holiday cheer for all the children of Woodmore Elementary. Details will be announced at a later date.
