Utah Jazz guard and former Memphis Grizzlies player Mike Conley donated $200,000 to five organizations including one in Memphis.

CodeCrew will receive some of the funds. The organization helps teach students about technology and will partner with STREETS ministries to obtain low cost broadband internet services and laptops for distance learning, should schools take that route in the fall.


“For many nonprofits, COVID-19 has caused drastic changes in how services and programs are delivered,” Meka Egwuekwe, CodeCrew executive director said in a release. “For CodeCrew and STREETS Ministries, we immediately recognized the digital divide that exists for our students and their families. Students in the Memphis area are not equipped with the necessary tools for distance learning. We are beyond grateful for the generous support of Mike Conley during this global pandemic.”
