NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Nashville Police and the Nashville Fire Department are facing off again against one another as part of the 2024 April Mania Basketball Championship.
The departments are raising funds to benefit the James Bess Foundation which grants wishes to adults with terminal illnesses.
Last year was the first year of the event and the Nashville Fire Department won the game 49 to 28.
The game will take place at Green Hill High School in Mt Juliet on June 7 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 a person and kids get in for free.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
