MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis Athletics and Tennessee Department of Transportation's (TDOT) Nobody Trashes Tennessee public education campaign are joining forces for the annual Blue & Gray Cleanup Day during the City's 901 Day celebration. Held on Sept. 1, the community cleanup will include Memphis coaches, student-athletes and athletic department staff.
