NASHVILLE – The 17^th Annual Miller Harris Memorial Golf Tournament will be played Monday, September 12^th at Temple Hills Country Club.  The tournament benefits the Miller Harris Foundation, an IRS 501(c)(3) organization that supports the Miller Harris Asthma Camp For Kids, in partnership with the Monroe Carell, Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt.  Each year the camp hosts inner-city asthmatic children ages 6-13 whose health could make attending a regular summer camp difficult.

The format for the tournament is a four-person, best ball scramble and is open to the public.  The cost per golfer is $200.  Team sponsorships are available for $1,000, $2,500 and $5,000.  Shotgun start is at 10:00 a.m.  Food and beverages are served on the course throughout the day and the evening finishes with a cocktail dinner and awards party.  All golfers will receive a gift bag with a memento of the tournament.  Players will be eligible for terrific prizes including an automobile from Beaman Toyota and $10,000 in cash.
