Unite Memphis, annual event aimed at bringing the city together

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Karin Conlee, Co-Founder and CEO of Unite Memphis, who highlights the nonprofit organization and their large, annual event aimed at bringing the city together. The Unite Memphis event occurs annually and serves as a reminder of the work that needs to be done daily to truly bring healing, honor, and hope to the city. Event proceeds are used to financially support local nonprofits that carry out that mission on a daily basis. The event, now in its fourth year, includes a walk, run, and various activities for all ages and fitness levels. It has seen significant growth, with over 1,700 participants last year. The upcoming event for 2025 will be held on September 1st, coinciding with 901 Day. Unite Memphis is partnering with the National Civil Rights Museum and aims to highlight and support other education-focused nonprofits in the city. Karin emphasizes the importance of involving the next generation of Memphians and believes the city is poised to lead the way in unity. She encourages community participation through registering for the event, sponsoring teams, or spreading the word on social media.
