Run. Kick. Spike.

For the kids.

We help heal and comfort kids through athletic competition.

Since 2010, River City for Itty Bitties (RIBS) has raised more than $350,000 for children’s charities in Memphis, Tennessee. Because we believe sports and generosity can change lives.

Today, all donations go to the NICU and Neuroscience Institute at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital where research and treatment go to the little bitties who need it most. Please join us in 2025 by picking one of the five fun ways we give back.
