Martha Rivers Ingram (1935-2026) chaired Ingram Industries after the death of her husband E. Bronson Ingram in 1995 and became one of the largest donors in Vanderbilt University's history. Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center's history records that in 1999 Nashville's Ingram family made a transformational gift in honour of the late E. Bronson Ingram, philanthropist, businessman and civic leader; formally named the E.

The centre is an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centre and the only one in Tennessee, with programmes in cancer genomics, immunotherapy and the health of rural and underserved populations across the mid-South.
