Ex-Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski remains active in the community even in retirement

Rob Gronkowski’s playing days may be behind him, but the former New England Patriots tight end remains as present as ever off the gridiron. Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital at Maine Medical Center in Portland found this out first-hand last week: the future Hall of Famer and his family paid a visit to hand over a $25,000 check that was raised through a raffle of Super Bowl tickets earlier this year.

“We are very grateful for this generous donation. Gronk played the game with heart, and we love having his positive presence here at BBCH,” Maine Medical Center’s COO, Jennifer McCarthy, said about the visit and donation.
