Lucas Oil Products has teamed up with Indianapolis Colts linebacker Bobby Okereke for Giving Tuesday on Nov. 29 to raise funds to support the patients at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent. The company kicks off a two-week community initiative, in partnership with Bobby Okereke, to encourage donations and show support for the children’s hospital during #GivingTuesday.
“We are always looking for ways to give back to our community and make a meaningful impact with our resources. Working with Bobby and Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital this year for Giving Tuesday is the perfect fit,” said Katie Lucas, Vice President of Strategy and Philanthropy for Lucas Oil. “It’s a privilege to partner with a generous person like Bobby; he shares our passion for giving back and supporting kids when they need it most. Infants and young children are the most vulnerable among us and need specialized care when they are sick. I’ve seen firsthand how caring and skilled the doctors, nurses, and staff members are at PMCH – we are truly blessed to have such an amazing facility in our community and hope we can all show our gratitude this giving season.”
Donate online directly to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at give.stvincent.org/givingtuesday. Donations will be accepted through Dec. 2, and Lucas Oil will match every donation up to the first $10,000 raised.
“I am excited to team up with Lucas Oil to help support Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital. There are a lot of families in need that have six children and it gives me a lot of perspective,” Okereke said. “Having healthy children and bringing them joy especially during the holiday season is so important to me and I hope the Indianapolis community joins us on Giving Tuesday to support the hospital.”
