tigers in the community The Tiger Athletic Department stays involved in the community through various efforts, including speaking engagements, hospital visits, food donations and other specialized projects. Each athletic team has at least one representative on the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and that group coordinates various community service events each year. The group rallies support from team members and even from staff members in the department for projects that include assisting on Martin Luther King Jr Day at the National Civil Rights Museum, collecting donations of food and money for the Memphis Food Bank and reading to local elementary school students. Throughout their careers, every student-athlete at the University of Memphis will have the opportunity to give back to the community that supports its Tiger squads. The Tigers mingle with the fans and sign autographs at the annual Tiger Football Fan Fest prior to the start of the season.
