Grizzlies Go Green Night presented by International Paper

Grizzlies Green Week presented by International Paper and associate sponsor MLGW, is asking all of Grizz Nation to get involved in making Memphis greener – and greater – by attending the Grizzlies vs. Golden State Western Conference showdown tomorrow night where tree seedlings will be given to the first 5,000 fans in attendance. The seedlings can then be used at the 10th Annual Tree Planting Event at Shelby Farms led by Memphis community members who have the vision to plant 10,000 trees. To register, please visit wolfriver.org.

Go Green Expo and Photo Opportunity

Preceding the seedling giveaway, the Grizzlies’ “Go Green Night” presented by International Paper, will host the Go Green Expo on the FedExForum Plaza Friday from 5-7 p.m. which will feature several non-profits and conservancy groups that focus on sustainability (weather permitting).

Charging Station Table

Throughout the game, International Paper will also provide all fans in attendance with an opportunity to take pictures with amazingly realistic life-sized corrugated cutouts of their favorite Grizzlies player. Fans can download the free Print Hammermill(TM) App in order to download their photo directly from their smartphone to printers located in the International Paper zone outside sections 104-106. Then, share your photo with @memgrizz on Twitter or Instagram with #NBAGREEN.
