The Give a Minute for Memphis campaign will guide recommendations made during the Opportunity Challenge in Memphis February 16-18. The Opportunity Challenge will pair national experts with Memphis urban leaders to develop unique and innovative strategies for developing all of Memphians' talent and putting it all to work. Both the campaign and the challenge have been made possible by the generous support of the Hyde Family Foundations, the Memphis Flyer and the City of Memphis.
