2019 was the inaugural season for Memphis 901 FC. We did not know what was to come on or off the field and living in a pre-pandemic world is now almost a fairy tale. But if there is one thing from 2019 we will always hold near and dear as members of the BCM - it's not traveling to Nashville to face our rivals before they ascended to MLS, it's not painting our first TIFO as a new family, it's not even the number of Jameson shots we took - it is that Memphis 901 FC was the FIRST professional sports team in Memphis to host an official Pride Night. Since then, almost every major sports team in Memphis has followed. They truly took their very young platform and utilized it to shed light on a community that deserves our love and support in all things, at all times. To be part of BCM or simply a fan of the 901 is to be a supporter for a team that prioritizes inclusivity and acceptance and we could not be more proud to support all things PRIDE.

To continue that support in 2023, we are partnering with OUTMemphis. OUTMemphis has been serving the Mid-South community since 1989. From OUTMemphis: "Regardless of how anyone identifies as an individual, we all seek a world where we can live openly, honestly, and authentically. We desire a community that celebrates and respects us fully as a part of the whole. We expect and deserve to be as open about who we are and whom we love as we choose to be. Working to make that world a reality is what we do every day at OUTMemphis." -- Wherever you are on your journey of life, whether an ally or member, OUTMemphis supports you and who you are authentically. This is the kind of love and support we prioritize at the BCM and look forward to donating anything to further their cause in the community.
