Pat Summitt Foundation

Pat Summitt Foundation About The Pat Summitt Foundation:

The Pat Summitt Foundation, a fund of East Tennessee Foundation, was established by Pat and Tyler Summitt in November 2011.

The Pat Summitt Foundation focuses on advancing research for treatment and a cure, providing care and support for patients and caregivers, and educating the public about Alzheimer’s disease. Its mission is to award grants to non-profit organizations that advance research for treatment and a cure, provide support for patients and caregivers, and educate the public on Alzheimer’s disease. In 2015, T

he Pat Summitt Foundation formed a strategic partnership with The University of Tennessee Medical Center to create The Pat Summitt Clinic. The clinic, which opened in December 2016, greatly improves access to healthcare services for families and patients facing Alzheimer’s disease in a facility created to advance Alzheimer’s research, detection, treatment, family caregiver support, and ultimately, lead to a cure.

Twenty years ago, Pat Summitt became the first women’s college basketball coach to earn a $1 million salary.

It was a milestone that reflected her impact on the game and helped pave the way for the growth of women’s sports we see today.

Pat’s legacy continues to inspire generations on and off the court. 💜

Twenty years ago this week, Tennessee made Pat Summitt the first women's college basketball to earn $1 million, setting up the salary growth in women's sports. Also: MLB owners propose salary cap, premium sales hot for FIFA World Cup, more on all-inclusive food-and-drink tickets at venues.

“Take care of people who take care of you.” - Pat Summitt

Even during her own battle with Alzheimer’s, Pat Summitt’s focus remained on others. Her heart was set on supporting caregivers, the people who give so much of themselves while caring for loved ones every single day. She understood the emotional, physical and emotional challenges that come with caregiving, and her heart was dedicated to making sure caregivers are supported and appreciated.

Through Pat’s Gameplan, caregivers are empowered with resources, support, and recognition for the incredible role they play in the Alzheimer’s and dementia journey. Pat’s compassion, strength, and selflessness continue to inspire and uplift so many people every day.

“Some people focus on getting the best life has to give. I challenge you to give life your best.” — Pat Summitt

Pat Summitt believed that life was not just about what you receive. It was about what you give to others through your leadership, compassion, determination, and service.

That mindset continues to inspire the work of the Pat Summitt Foundation every day.

Whether it is a caregiver showing up for a loved one, a donor giving generously to the mission, a researcher working toward a cure, or a volunteer raising awareness in their community, every person in this fight is giving life their best.

Alzheimer’s disease impacts millions of families, but together, we can continue to make a difference.

Thank you for being part of this team and for continuing Pat’s legacy through action.

Together, we will win.🧡 💜
