Paul and Robbins presented a $25,000 check to Vanderbilt on behalf of BlackHawk's "Van Stephenson Memorial Cancer Research Fund.тАЭ Stephenson, a founding member of BlackHawk, passed away from melanoma in 2001.

"BlackHawk's commitment to fund cancer research continues as we strive to honor Van's dying wish, 'That we do what we can to try and find a cure,'" says Paul. "This effort started more than twenty years ago and will continue into the foreseeable future.тАЭ

"What an honor for Henry and I to support Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center year after year in memory of our friend and original co-founder of Blackhawk, Van Stephenson,тАЭ adds Robinson.

Collectively since 2006, BlackHawk's "Van Stephenson Memorial Cancer Research Fund" has generated $400,000 for the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center.
