* What: The first “Toast to Pat,” a tribute to former Lady Vol Coach Pat Summitt, who is fighting Alzheimer’s disease, was held recently at Lookout Mountain Golf Club and chaired by John “Thunder” Thornton. The inaugural event included a Sunday night dinner and golf tournament on Monday. Traci Jennings, neuroscience administrator at Erlanger, which was the presenting sponsor, spoke about Alzheimer’s to guests. Fletcher Bright and the Dismembered Tennesseans were the entertainment.

* Tournament winners: Thirty teams played in the golf outing. Winning foursomes were Chris Liner, Jeff Rice, Rob Lambert and Cody Housley with a 54; and Allen Brown, Winston Brown, Huxley Brown and Jimmy Chapin with a 56.

* Benefits: The event raised $75,000 for the Pat Summitt Foundation and its fight against Alzheimer’s disease.
