TAMPA, Fla., March 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- AdventHealth and the Tampa Bay Lightning are teaming up to host the third annual Pediatric Health Night on Saturday, March 2, as the Tampa Bay Lightning take on the Ottawa Senators. The puck drops at 7:00 p.m. at AMALIE Arena, 401 Channelside Drive, Tampa, FL.
The first 3,000 Bolts fans to visit the AdventHealth Quad, Section 128 inside the AMALIE arena will receive a free, commemorative co-branded AdventHealth/Lightning Buddy Bear, celebrating the new black Lightning jersey. For every Buddy Bear handed out at the game, a bear will be delivered to a child in our care along with a personalized note of encouragement from a fan. Fans who can't make the game can still purchase a commemorative buddy bear for $25 at http://www.adventhealthbuddybear.com, fill out an online note of inspiration, and AdventHealth will deliver a new bear with the note to a pediatric patient. The Buddy Bear Program benefits the AdventHealth West Florida Foundation and contributions will be used to purchase pediatric life-saving equipment, new technology and create new pediatric facilities and services in our community.
"We are more than a trusted healthcare system, we are a dedicated community partner that is committed to helping people live their healthiest life possible," said Lauren Key, Senior Executive Officer of Consumer Strategy, AdventHealth West Florida Division. "We look forward to encouraging every Bolts fan to write an uplifting message that is delivered with a bear to help our youngest patients smile and feel whole."
Before the puck drops, fans can head to Thunder Alley for family-fun activities, and kid-friendly games along with prizes at the AdventHealth tents. The night includes an interactive MoveBooth, attempting a successful Operation on Thunderbug, balloon artists, and face painting for kids.
"The Lightning are very happy to be once again teaming up with our great partners at AdventHealth to bring attention to pediatric health concerns," Lightning CEO Steve Griggs said. "We look forward to helping make healthier young Bolts fans in Tampa Bay and would like to thank AdventHealth for always bringing health and wellness to the forefront."
