Memorials, Recognition - Memphis Rox -
This House Resolution honors Memphis Rox, a nonprofit climbing gym in South Memphis, for its work in promoting community equity and providing opportunities to underserved residents. The measure recognizes the organization's "pay-what-you-can" model, which allows anyone to access climbing facilities regardless of their financial situation. It also highlights the gym's broader programs, such as youth mentorship, job training, and food insecurity initiatives, that aim to improve lives and strengthen the neighborhood. Passed unanimously by the Tennessee House of Representatives, the resolution serves as a formal commendation of the organization's impact rather than a change in law.
