Posted February 2010 Eli Manning is coming back to Jackson  Eli Manning and his father Archie are returning to Jackson in June for the third year of An Evening with the Mannings, presented by BankPlus. Along with special guest Emeril Lagasse, they hope to kick things up another notch by hosting the event at the new Jackson Convention Complex on Saturday, June 27. Last year's event raised a record $800,000 and the Mannings are hopeful the community will join them again this year to help surpass that goal. Making this year's visit to Jackson even more special will be the dedication of the Eli Manning Children's Clinics at the Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children. The public is invited to attend the dedication on June 26 at 4 p.m. in the atrium of University Hospital. Tours of the clinic will follow the ceremony. The building of these clinics is the reason Eli Manning joined forces with BankPlus and Friends of Children's Hospital to raise money for the hospital. If you'd like to be a part of this effort, host committee and sponsorship opportunities are still available. Tickets to the black-tie event are $250 per person. For more information or to purchase a ticket, please contact Melanie Schade at 601-984-5273. |
