A telephone call by The Associated Press to a charitable foundation affiliated with the Atlanta Falcons quarterback was not immediately returned Friday.</p><p>The tournament is the latest in a series of Virginia appearances either canceled or delayed since Vick's name surfaced in a dogfighting investigation.</p><p>An April raid at a property in rural Surry County owned by Vick found dozens of dogs and equipment suspected of being used for a dogfighting operation.
