While most sports injuries happen on the field, one Vanderbilt football fan managed to score one in his own home the night Vanderbilt beat Alabama.

What started as a simple proposal to create a moment during each home game for a hospitalized patient to root for the home team and share the excitement from fans and players in the arena has become a welcomed tradition. 

This year, more than 60 participating surgeons, fellow and resident surgeons, attending anesthesiologists and certified registered nurse anesthetists, surgery center staff and Spanish interpreters volunteered on an August Saturday to help those who couldn’t otherwise afford it.

The All of Us Research Program brings the future of health to VUMC and Nashville. 

The seventh annual event invites students to conduct science experiments, join in hands-on activities, and win prizes and giveaways.

Donors are welcomed into the Legacy Circle when they make a lasting gift to the Medical Center through their will, retirement plan, life insurance policy or trust.

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.
