An important tradition continues tonight, Thursday, Jan. 28 at 7 p.m. to honor Morgan Harrington. It’s been more than a decade since her death but a scholarship fundraiser is continuing her passion for education.
“.That’s been our driving force, to honor Morgan’s legacy,” said Dr. Tracey Criss, a physician at Carilion Clinic and friend of the Harringtons.
The message is in the name, Docs for Morgan.
Since 2013, it’s been Carilion Clinic doctors vs. Virginia Tech Carilion medical students. They go head to head on a basketball court and it’s more than just for bragging rights, but to honor Morgan Harrington. She was studying to become a teacher at Virginia Tech before her disappearance and murder.
