Smith Lanier & Co. as the title sponsor, the Brain Tumor Foundation For Children was able to expand the “Butterfly Fund” to include children and families treated at Children’s Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama and now- 2006- to the children’s hospitals at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida and Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.
