Shelby County Commissioner Mickell Lowery continues to lead with purpose and passion as he prepares to host his 5th Annual Celebrity Golf Tournament on August 16, 2025, at the renowned Mirimichi Golf Course in Millington, Tennessee. With a focus on supporting local higher education institutions, this event highlights Commissioner Lowery’s commitment to empowering students and uplifting the community through education.
The tournament has become a well-anticipated tradition in Memphis, drawing civic leaders, local influencers, and sports enthusiasts. With the success of previous years—including raising $30,000 in 2024—this year’s event is set to build upon that momentum, creating a fun, competitive, and meaningful experience that emphasizes the transformative power of higher education.
Mirimichi Golf Course, known for its scenic fairways and eco-conscious design, will provide a picturesque setting for this charitable event. Participants can expect a full day of engaging play and networking, all while supporting a cause that directly benefits the city’s next generation of leaders and professionals.
Recognizing that not everyone is a golfer, the event will also feature a vibrant Day Party and Hospitality Tent, where attendees can enjoy live entertainment from Grammy-nominated R&B singer Michel’le. This addition invites community members from all walks of life to participate in the celebration and show their support for education in a fun and inclusive way.
Commissioner Lowery’s commitment to education extends beyond the golf course. As a public servant, he has long championed initiatives that create opportunity and equity within Shelby County. His ongoing involvement with local higher education institutions speaks to his belief in the importance of these schools as cornerstones of both the educational and cultural landscape in Memphis.
The golf tournament and accompanying Day Party offer multiple ways for individuals, businesses, and organizations to get involved. Team registrations and sponsorship opportunities are available, as are individual tickets for the hospitality tent. All proceeds from the event will go directly toward supporting scholarships, campus resources, and programming, ensuring that the institutions involved can continue serving as a source of opportunity for future generations.

As the August 16 event approaches, Commissioner Lowery invites all Memphis residents and supporters from surrounding areas to come together for a day of fun, fellowship, and philanthropy. “This tournament is about more than just golf—it’s about creating a lasting legacy of support for our students, our institutions, and our future,” he said in a recent statement.
