TEAM SPARROW MEMPHIS 2026
If staying active is one of your goals this year, Team Sparrow is a win on all fronts. You get built-in accountability, a reason to keep showing up, and the kind of feel-good motivation that actually lasts—because your fundraising feeds a person facing cancer for an entire year.
Run, walk, or skip (yes, skip) your way through your choice of distance—5K, 10K, half, or full marathon. We’ll train you, cheer you on, and make sure you feel strong and confident when you cross that finish line.
You donation helps two amazing causes this year. Team Sparrow will travels to Memphis to take part in the St. Jude Marathon Weekend December 4-6th and we want you to be a part of it all.
Come to a Team Sparrow informational meeting to learn how we train you, help you fundraise and make a local impact.
Upcoming Info Meetings:– January 13 at 6:30 PM– January 29 at 6:30 PM– February 4 at 6:30 PM
Make your commitment count—for yourself and for someone who needs it.

DRESS DOWN DAY IS COMING
Dress Down Day is a big deal for us here at Sparrow’s Nest, and your participation makes a real difference! When you purchase and wear Sparrow’s Nest apparel, you not only show support for our mission, you help spread the word and raise vital funds to feed people facing a cancer diagnosis.
This year’s collection features the same INCREDIBLY soft pullover hoodies and quarter zips everyone loved last year, now in a beautiful blue, along with soft, soft (did I mention soft?)tees in a deep navy with a new vintage logo twist.
And did we mention hats? You read that right- we’re excited to introduce hats….two different styles, each featuring our logo on a leather patch. You won’t want to miss them!
Keep an eye out for your school, business or Team Sparrow liaisons with order forms, email us here to ask for an order form of your own or shop online when the store goes live Wednesday evening! Online ordering will offer local pickup or nationwide shipping, making it easy for everyone to participate no matter where they are.
Have a business that would like to participate in Dress Down Day? Email Marissa Vanzillotta at mvanzillotta@sparrowsnestcharity.org and she’ll make sure you get all of the information you need! Businesses that participate and send us a photo of their staff wearing their Sparrow Gear on March 27 will be featured on our social media!
Every shirt (and hat!) helps us feed someone when they need it most. Thank you for wearing your support and helping make Dress Down ay such a powerful day of impact.
