Memphis Civitan - Working to build a better community through service.
Memphis Civitan has supported local charities for more than 100 years.
Memphis Civitan club was chartered in 1920 and is the second oldest Civitan club in the world. Our club's mission is to provide networking, fellowship, community involvement, personal development and community service, with an emphasis on helping children and adults with developmental disabilities.
CIVITAN’S MISSION STATEMENT
The worldwide mission of Civitan International is to build good citizenship by providing a volunteer organization of clubs dedicated to serving individual and community needs with an emphasis on helping people with developmental disabilities.
FELLOWSHIP THROUGH FUNDRAISING
For several decades, Memphis Civitan hosted the Memphis Civitan Run. Each year this run raised about $30,000 to support local charities which support children and adults with special needs. Proceeds also go to the Civitan International Research Center (CIRC), which focuses on the research of developmental disabilities. In 2025, Memphis Civitan hosted its first Mahj & Margas fundraiser. See our Instagram highlights for the Mahj & Margs pictures.

“The Civitan Club is doing things —big things— for the community, state and nation, and I certainly consider it an honor to be numbered in its ranks.
