The Annual Neurosurgery Charity Softball Tournament has rapidly evolved into a national competition. The first two championships were claimed by Columbia University in 2004 and 2005, while the University of Pennsylvania repeated their title runs in 2006 and 2007. The championship trophy, named "The J. Lawrence Pool Memorial Trophy" in honor of the former Columbia chairman, will be housed at Brigham and Women's Hospital for the upcoming year.
