Dear Grant Committees and Fellow Memphians,

My name is Jasper Mangum. I am a Memphis firefighter, a self-taught rug artist, and the founder of T3N — one of Memphis's fastest-growing creative businesses.

In just over one year with no studio, no staff, and no marketing budget, T3N has:

• Sold 136 custom hand-stitched rugs • Created pieces for Penny Hardaway, Hunter Goodman, the Memphis Grizzlies, and the University of Memphis Tigers • Partnered with iHeart Media • Been featured in 3 magazines and on Action News 5

Now I'm ready to open a dedicated T3N creative studio in Downtown Memphis — offering weekly rug-making classes, youth programs, and a permanent creative space where anyone can walk in and discover their creativity.

Your signature tells grant committees that Memphis wants this.

Sign. Share. Let's make it happen.
