Steve Perry, Tri Star Energy’s chief of operations and a member of the Monroe Carell Advisory Board, continues to lead the company’s longstanding fundraising efforts for the hospital’s patients and families. Tri Star Energy was the first corporate partner of Monroe Carell’s Growing to New Heights Campaign, an expansion campaign that enables the hospital to care for even more children who need it.
“Tri Star Energy and Twice Daily are deeply committed to supporting Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt and its patients, and we’re humbled to host events like the Twice Daily Cup to reach new milestones that directly impact our local community and our children,” Perry said. “This is the 25th year we’ve hosted the golf tournament, and each year, I am inspired by how everyone comes together for such a meaningful cause.”
