Blue and Grey Society
The Blue and Grey Society recognizes regular giving to the University. Building and stewarding a committed group of Annual Fund supporters is also key to
maintaining a solid financial foundation for the U of M. For this reason, we recognize
and celebrate the donors loyal in their support of the University of Memphis’s academic
initiatives. Donors who make an annual gift for five or more consecutive years or
who have made a gift every year since graduation, are recognized through membership
in the Blue and Grey Society.
