There’s a whole lotta giftin’ goin’ on at the Elvis Presley Memorial Trauma Center in Memphis, Tenn., which has received at least $100,000 in donations from Elvis fans from Boston to Tasmania, hospital officials say. The hospital receives a couple of Presley-inspired contributions each week, said Marler Stone, director of development for the Regional Medical Center at Memphis Foundation, which raises money for the hospital. Among the gifters is the Elvis Presley Burning Love Fan Club, which will have donated about $20,000 to the trauma center by the end of this year.
