A support for support for St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital

The Steinbrenner family has been an integral part of the sports world and the philanthropic landscape for several generations. George M. Steinbrenner III and his wife, Joan, regularly channeled time and energy in countless charitable efforts in Tâmpa, including advancing pediatric emergency at the St Joseph Hospital. This great spirit with civic mind was transmitted to the four children-Hank, Jennifer, Jessica and Hal-Prepare to their grandchildren.

When St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital was founded in 1990, its emergency center was divided by St. Joseph’s Hospital. Shortly after George and Joan Steinbrenner took one of their grandchildren there for care, talked to Sister Marie Celeste Sullivan, the hospital administrator at that time, about the need for a separate emergency for pediatric patients. In 1991, Steinbrenners offered support for the construction of a new emergency center for children, which the family continued to help for decades. Known as the Emergency Center and Steinbrenner Children’s Trauma, the level II level trauma center has become a critical resource for thousands of children every year, offering the highest level of pediatric emergency care.

A tradition of giving back

Joan was deeply invested in the well -being of the children and served at the Development Council of the St. Foundation. Joseph from 1991-2000. In 2017, he was honored as a community hero for the annual Heroes Ball of the Foundation, which raises critical funds for the hospital. Continuing the tradition of community involvement and philanthropy, daughter Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal serves as a member of the Board of Directors for the St. Joseph’s Hospitals Foundation.

“The Steinbrenner family was a valuable part of the family of St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital for generations, and their unwavering commitment to our mission continues to change life,” said Kate Sawa, president of the Children’s Hospital Foundation St. Joseph. “Their inheritance of generosity will continue to have a deep impact in Tampa Bay and not only for the coming years. We are deeply grateful for their kindness and we cannot thank them sufficiently for their dedication to the health and well -being of our community. “

“As a family, we are honored to support St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital and its mission to provide world -wet pediatric care,” said Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal. “Being able to have a positive impact on the prospects of those who face adversity was a proud point for my father and naturally gravitated for charitable efforts that benefited from the well -being of children. Our family continues to be motivated by the same spirit and we are proud to offer resources to increase the level of care for the youngest and most vulnerable members of our community. “
