The Mojo Awards is MidtownMemphis.org’s signature annual event and its largest fundraiser. Proceeds go right back into the efforts of the organization to meet their mission of supporting a vibrant and sustainable Midtown.
Last year, proceeds went toward: Planting native trees and plants in four midtown locations as part of their Shade is Cool campaign; holding the event on Madison Avenue for International PARK(ing) Day on September 16, 2022; working to improve Washington Bottoms with their partners The Works, Inc., NPI, and Memphis City Beautiful; participating in the Slam Dunk Litter League (and coming in First Place in District 6); making improvements to their website; and coordinating efforts of midtown neighborhoods working with the Department of Planning & Development on revisions to the Unified Development Code.
