MEMPHIS – Led by head coach Coach Mike Norvell, the Memphis football program will again participate in the Ashley Homestore "Hope to Dream" Event at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, Saturday, beginning at 10 a.m.

The event, which was started by Ashley HomeStore (AHS), has a goal of providing children in the community with their very own bed. A portion of all mattress sales at AHS goes toward supporting the "Hope to Dream" program.

This is the third year the event will be hosted in Memphis. Saturday's event will begin at 10 a.m. with a one hour mini football camp. At 11:15 a.m., the kids will be surprised with their very own bed set, including a twin mattress set, pillow, sheets and a comforter, to take home. Representatives from the Memphis Tigers and executives from Ashley HomeStore are scheduled to speak at the event.

The event is a ticketed event. Media looking to cover the event can email Lauren Hamsley at lhamsley@dsghome.com.
