Grand slam donation
The Family Circle Tennis Center’s Annual Holiday Classic tournament, held in December of 2018, resulted in a grand slam donation to the MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital. Recently, Family Circle Tennis Center Facility Director Rob Eppelsheimer and Membership Manager and Tournament Director Nancy Heinz presented a check for $33,500 to the hospital, representing the proceeds from the tournament, which was presented by Allstate Wally Burbage. Construction of the new children’s hospital began in August 2016 and is on schedule to be completed in the fall of 2019. Through the generosity of many, over 100 items on the Child Life Atrium Wish List were also delivered for distribution directly to patients undergoing treatment in the hospital.
“Thank you for helping imagine what’s possible through the Campaign for MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital, so many sick children will soon awaken in a new hospital,” stated Heinz.
