Eli Manning helped raise $25, 000 on Thursday by welcoming 12 kids to a football clinic here at Giants stadium. The clinic was auctioned off in an effort to raise money for St. Vincent’s Hospital. The winner of the auction donated the prize back to the hospital, which was then able to select the children who participated in the event. Eli has a long standing relationship with St. Vincent’s that he’s very proud of.
