Evansville Thunderbolts Bring Smiles and Support to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital Evansville
Visit highlights community opportunity to support pediatric patients
Evansville, IN – The Evansville Thunderbolts made a heartwarming visit to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital Evansville this week, bringing smiles to young patients and raising awareness for their upcoming charitable event, “Give Back Night.” This meaningful initiative underscores the Thunderbolts commitment to making a positive impact on the community they call home.
During yesterday’s visit, team members Jordan Simoneau, Benjamin Lindberg, Ethan Price, and Nolan McElhaney spent time interacting with the patients by building an astronaut out of blocks, painting and spreading joy throughout the hospital.
“Having the Evansville Thunderbolts visit our hospital today was a truly special experience for our patients,” said Dr. Wendy Woodard, Pediatric Hospitalist and Medical Director at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital Evansville. “Their visit today means so much to these kids and their families, reminding them that they have a community rallying behind them.”
The visit highlighted the upcoming fundraiser this Sunday, March 30, at the Ford Center, where $5 from every ticket sold will go directly to support Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital Evansville.
“It was great to get out and see these kids and put a smile on their faces and they put a smile on our faces as well,” said Evansville Thunderbolts forward Jordan Simoneau. “It means the world that we can give back to everyone in the community in this way.”
Discounted tickets are available for $16 and can be purchased, on our website at
