Indiana Fever names Peyton Manning Children’s patients ‘Honorary Ball Kids’
Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St. Vincent
Indianapolis, Ind.
Two powerhouse sports figures in Indianapolis have come together to support kids facing health challenges. The WNBA’s Indiana Fever has teamed up with the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent to recognize and celebrate some of the hospital’s patients who have overcome significant medical difficulties.
The Fever Ball Kids attend games, hang out with players during warm-ups and pose for pictures on social media. Indiana Fever players return the favor by visiting kids at the hospital. Mascot Freddy Fever stops by, as well.
While the players are great at boosting kids’ spirits, superstar athletes Caitlin Clark and Peyton Manning have recognized it’s best to leave the medical performances to the professionals.
