KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee head coach Kellie Harper and Kentucky head coach Kyra Elzy made generous donations to the Pat Summitt Foundation Fund in honor of We Back Pat Week.

Both coaches each presented $10,000 personal checks at halfcourt before the two teams played on Sunday for a total of a $20,000 donation.

Elzy is a former Lady Vols player and former teammate of Harper.

The Pat Summitt Foundation Fund was launched on Nov. 27, 2011, by Pat Summitt after her diagnosis of early-onset dementia, Alzheimer's type, at the age of 59.

This is the 11th straight year of We Back Pat Week. Tennessee will also play Georgia during this week on the road on Jan. 23.
