The high-energy fundraiser began in 2022 to raise money for cancer initiatives at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center and Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt.

The clinic has provided comprehensive medical care and bridged gaps to vital resources to improve the health outcomes for, to date, more than 4,000 uninsured individuals.

Thirteen patients received free orthopaedic surgeries, including five sports cases, six hand/upper extremity cases and, for the first time, two foot and ankle surgeries.

The event, which featured more than 50 teams from VUMC, raises awareness and funds for research, advocacy and CPR training to combat heart disease and stroke.

The family-friendly event, organized by the American Heart Association and sponsored in part by VUMC, will be held from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20 at GEODIS Park.

These will become the fourth and fifth MNPS zoned high schools with an Early College program embedded in the school in partnership with Nashville State, joining Whites Creek, Glencliff, and Cane Ridge.

The Susan Morrow Legacy Foundation has made a generous donation to support ovarian cancer research at Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
