JACKSON, TENN. (JULY 24, 2012) - The Jackson Generals will host Pat Summitt Appreciation Night on Saturday, July 28.

The Generals will wear special "Lady Vol Orange" jerseys during their game against the Montgomery Biscuits. The jerseys will be auctioned that night with the proceeds benefitting the Pat Summitt Foundation Fund.

The Pat Summitt Foundation makes grants to nonprofits that provide education and awareness of Alzheimer's, as well support services to patients, their families and caregivers.
