Camp4 Collective Presents Memphis Rox Film & Fundraiser Event

This event supports Memphis Rox, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to making climbing accessible through a pay-what-you-can model, low-cost rentals, free youth programs, and a community-driven café. Following the tragic loss of Outreach Coordinator Jarmond Johnson to gun violence in June 2025, this fundraiser honors his legacy by supporting Memphis Rox’s continued work to create safe, inclusive, and welcoming climbing spaces. In recognition of Black History Month, Camp4 invites our local climbing community to stand in solidarity and uplift access for all. Doors at 6 pm, show at 7 pm for this 21 + event.
