Are You Ready for Some Football?

With the 2009 football season well underway and the East-West Shrine Game coming to Orlando on January 23, 2010, Shriners Hospitals for Children— Tampa is ready for some football!

To kick things off, players from the USF Bulls football team and Donald Penn #70, the starting left tackle for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers visited with patients, families and staff last month. As players, cheerleaders and the USF mascot walked down hallways, the kids were thrilled to have special guests stop by rooms for a bedside meet and greet and photos.

Teddy bears, towels and foam fingers were personally autographed by athletes as they posed for photos and chatted with patients and family members.

Thank you to the USF Bulls and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for visiting with the kids!
