The 20th annual Williamson Medical Center charity golf tournament will be Wednesday, Sept. 17, at Vanderbilt Legends Club of Tennessee. Funds raised from the event will benefit the Fay Porter Memorial Medical Scholarship and the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital Vanderbilt at Williamson Medical Center. Last year, more than 25 scholarships were awarded to students pursuing medical, nursing and pharmacy degrees and this year, portions of the money raised will also benefit Williamson County's first children's hospital, which is slated to open next summer on the WMC campus.

This annual golf tournament, formerly known as the Fay Porter Memorial Golf Tournament, has provided more than $100,000 in medical scholarships over the last 19 years. The Fay Porter Memorial Medical Scholarship was named in 1995 in memory of Fay Porter, a well-known friend of the Medical Center. Porter passed away at the Medical Center in November 1994 after a long battle with cancer. Scholarships are awarded based on career goals, academic record and service to the community.
