Century Club Nominations

In Memphis, we believe in honoring the people who helped build the foundation we’re standing on today. That’s what the Century Club of Memphis is all about — celebrating residents who have reached 100 years or more and recognizing the lives they’ve lived and the legacy they’ve created.

Each member of the Century Club receives a personal letter from the Mayor and a commemorative certificate recognizing their milestone birthday and lasting contributions to our city.

Our Centenarians are living history. They’ve seen Memphis grow, change, and rise — and their stories remind us of who we are and how far we’ve come.

The Century Club of Memphis is open to residents of Memphis and surrounding communities in West Tennessee.

If you know someone who’s reached 100 or more, we want to celebrate them. Click below to request a certificate and help us honor the remarkable lives that continue to shape our city.

This is what community looks like. This is our Era of Yes.
