Trevor and Marissa Lawrence named ambassadors of Wolfson Children’s Hospital

Wolfson Children’s Hospital recently named Trevor Lawrence, quarterback of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and his wife Marissa as ambassadors of Wolfson Children’s Hospital. This exciting new relationship was recently unveiled at a private signing ceremony where the couple joined hospital staff, inspiring patients and their families to celebrate the occasion.

“At Wolfson Children’s, we know how important it is to be a member of a well-oiled team,” said Allegra C. Jaros, MBA, president of Wolfson Children’s Hospital. “Each teammate plays a vital role in winning battles against the illnesses and injuries our children may face. There is no more important team to our community than the team at Wolfson Children’s. It just makes sense that our NFL team’s quarterback, and his wife, would be a key part of our team that cares for and saves the lives of our community’s children."

In their role, Trevor and Marissa will help bring inspiration, joy and hope to infants and children in need of the specialized care provided at Wolfson Children’s Hospital and will promote child and family health and well-being by being advocates for kids.

“The work provided by the care team at Wolfson Children’s is important to our community and helps keep the youngest Jaguars fans healthy,” Trevor shared. “We are proud to stand with the Wolfson Children’s team and look forward to advocating for the well-being of kids in Jacksonville and highlighting the amazing work of the staff.”

The event featured several Wolfson Children’s patients who served as "sports reporters" for the day. Kennedy (age 8), Tyler (age 9) and Zion (age 14), each had the opportunity to ask the Lawrences a few questions during a light-hearted interview session.

After the interviews, Trevor and Marissa signed a ceremonial agreement, marking the beginning of this new partnership and a promise to help kids tackle challenges and get stronger every day. As a token of appreciation, Trevor and Marissa presented the patients in attendance with gift bags and autographed memorabilia, while the hospital welcomed the Lawrences with official team badges and jackets to symbolize their role as part of the Wolfson Children’s team.

“We are deeply honored to have Trevor and Marissa join our Wolfson Children's team,” said Michael A. Mayo, DHA, FACHE, president and CEO of Baptist Health. “Their compassion and dedication to child health will have a lasting impact on the children we serve.”

For nearly 30 years, Baptist Health has partnered with the Jacksonville Jaguars on and off the field to build a healthier community. In a new approach to this partnership beginning with the 2025 season, Wolfson Children’s will become the first-ever Official Children’s Hospital of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
