Eli Manning visits with Batson patients


 New York Giants Quarterback, Eli Manning, holds 3-year old Brandon resident and Batson Hospital patient, Aubrey Armstrong. Manning visited with Batson Hospital patients as a special part of his recent trip to the hospital to tour the construction of the new Eli Manning Children's Clinics.

 Manning has committed to raise $2.5 million for this construction through "An Evening with the Mannnings." In 2007, the inaugural year for the event, more than $400,000 was raised. This year's event is expected to be even more spectacular. Chef Emeril Lagasse joins Manning for this special evening.

 "An Evening with the Mannings" which is presented by BankPlus will be June 21 at the Mississippi TelCom Center. For more information, please call Friends at 601-984-5273 or visit our An Evening with the Mannings page.
