Memphis Grizzlies Announce Continued Partnership with Pinnacle Financial Partners

Memphis, Tenn. - The Memphis Grizzlies today announced that Pinnacle Financial Partners has committed to continuing its longstanding partnership with the franchise, 10 years after the firm first signed on as a key supporter of Grizz Nation.

"One of the first things Pinnacle did when it came to Memphis 10 years ago was sign on to be the Official Bank of the Grizzlies, and it's one of the best decisions we've made." said Phillip May, Pinnacle's regional president in Memphis. "There is no one more committed to Memphis and its people than the Grizzlies, and the impact we can make when we partner with a likeminded organization is incredible. There's so much more we want to do for our clients, Grizzlies fans and the community, so we're thrilled to keep working with them for another decade."

The Official Bank of the Memphis Grizzlies and FedExForum is the presenting partner for the Grizzlies HBCU Night this Friday, Nov. 6, as the Grizzlies host the Oklahoma City Thunder. Each year, HBCU Night highlights and brings awareness to the rich diversity of HBCU's as they continue to redesign the educational landscape, ensuring African Americans receive a solid and sound education. The Grizzlies and Pinnacle Financial Partners will choose nine HBCU graduates to be honorees for the ninth annual HBCU Empowerment Awards. One honoree will be highlighted at each Grizzlies home game in February 2027 for their community empowerment and outstanding contributions to the field of education, health and fitness, youth development or service throughout the City of Memphis or Shelby County and will receive a donation to their alma mater in their name.

Pinnacle Financial Partners is the proud partner of fan-favorite 191 Collabs. 191 Collabs highlights local designers with exclusive apparel drops inside the Grizzlies Den at FedExForum, showcasing each collaborator's talent, art, manufacturing and vibe. 191 Collabs celebrates Memphis designers and highlights the city's unique voice through hyper-local Grizz garments. The first 191 Collabs night of the season is Friday, Nov. 6, featuring a collection designed by Good Hippy.

New this season is the Pinnacle Zone on the Plaza Level Concourse of FedExForum. The Pinnacle Zone is open to all fans and will be used to host private events and will be a space for Pinnacle customers to congregate together.
