It is a gift to our university community to
celebrate his memory and his lasting, enduring
legacy across Nashville, across the SEC and
across our country.
I'm very pleased to announce our newest initiative
to cement Perry's legacy.
So thanks to the generosity and the inaugural
donations of David and Gail Williams and their
children David, Erika, Samantha and Nicholas,
the Perry Wallace Basketball Scholarship has
been established and it will be used to support
basketball student athletes here at Vanderbilt.
Perry deserves this recognition and so much
more for a life well-lived.
He did everything, as I said, with dignity
and grace.
Thank you for sharing his specialness.
