THE PLAYERS Celebrates Future Champions at Baptist Health
Jacksonville, Florida, January 3, 2011 -- Each year, the first baby of the New Year is celebrated at hospitals throughout the nation, and Northeast Florida is no exception.
This year, the first babies of 2011 born at each of Baptist Health's hospitals received a gift bag courtesy of THE PLAYERS Championship. The gift bag included ball caps, T-shirts, lanyards and coffee mugs for the new parents; a beach towel; seat cushion; and a beanie bear for the first baby born at Baptist Medical Center Downtown, Baptist Medical Center Beaches, Baptist Medical Center Nassau and Baptist Medical Center South.
In addition, every baby born at one of the four Baptist Health hospitals in 2011, will receive a complimentary T-shirt that says, "THE PLAYERS Future Champion." Parents of the babies born January 1 - April 10, 2011, will be invited to register for a special Mother's Day prize package, which will provide one family with the opportunity to experience THE PLAYERS Championship in May. These gifts from THE PLAYERS are intended to help Moms and Dads celebrate their little champions while helping to grow future golf fans.
If you deliver your baby at a Baptist Health hospital between now and April 10, 2011, register for the prize by visiting e-baptisthealth.com/players.
"THE PLAYERS is excited to celebrate newborns and their families as part of our successful partnership with Baptist Health," says Matt Rapp, executive director of THE PLAYERS Championship. "Honoring these 'Future Champions' helps to build yet another connection to the tournament, build on the multi-year charitable commitment THE PLAYERS makes to Baptist Health and the excellent care it provides to families throughout the region."
"We have always enjoyed an excellent relationship with THE PLAYERS, and have deeply appreciated their commitment to our community," says Hugh Greene, president and CEO of Baptist Health. "We are grateful that THE PLAYERS are helping us to celebrate the new babies born at Baptist Health hospitals and look forward to THE PLAYERS Championship in May!"
