cityCURRENT, powered by Lipscomb & Pitts Insurance + Higginbotham, is a privately-funded catalyst for the Mid-South, Middle Tennessee, and beyond. A team of more than 100 partner companies, including some of the largest employers in the world to mid-size and small businesses, have joined forces and funds to host over 300 events each year, along with an array of positive-oriented media and philanthropic initiatives to enrich, engage, and impact the community. The organization has been serving Memphis and the Mid-South since 2005 and has been serving Nashville and Middle Tennessee since April 2018.
cityCURRENT launched in Memphis in 2005, as a part of a franchise agreement under the original organization name, the Lipscomb Pitts Breakfast Club. Lipscomb & Pitts Insurance helped establish the organization as title sponsor. Lipscomb & Pitts Insurance purchased the rights and took full ownership in 2007, which allowed the organization to change the model and turn it into what you know and see today. In 2016, we rebranded to become cityCURRENT, in order for our organization’s name to better match up with our mission, efforts, and impact. The name cityCURRENT is a call to action for all of us to join and work together as the electric CURRENT to power the GOOD in our communities. In 2018, cityCURRENT expanded into Nashville to also focus on making a difference throughout Middle Tennessee.
In 2020, Lipscomb & Pitts Insurance joined Higginbotham to become one of the largest independent insurance agencies in the nation. This partnership further expanded the reach and support network for cityCURRENT, which has become a philanthropic arm and catalyst for both Lipscomb & Pitts Insurance and Higginbotham.
