New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning and his wife, Abby, have pledged $1 million to the Children's of Mississippi $100 million capital campaign.
The Mannings will also lend their names and faces for publicity for the campaign and will serve as honorary chairs on the campaign fundraising committee. The goal of the project is to expand and update the neonatal intensive care unit, add more pediatric ICU rooms and surgical suites, create an imaging department just for children and expand the outpatient clinic so that care can be centralized and more convenient for families at the Batson Children's Hospital at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
