Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent recently celebrated Fishers resident Carter Minion, who was recognized as the Honorary Fever Ball Kid during a recent Indiana Fever home game.

Carter, a patient at the hospital, enjoyed courtside access during warm-ups, met Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, and saw his story highlighted on the video board during halftime. The special recognition honored Carter’s strength and resilience as he continues to live with Type 1 diabetes.

Beyond his own health challenges, Carter has become an advocate for other children living with chronic illnesses. With the support of his family, he helps organize annual fundraisers that benefit patients at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital.

“Honoring Carter as the Honorary Fever Ball Kid is a reminder of the resilience and hope that drive everything we do,” said Stephan Masoncup, Chief Strategy Officer at Ascension St. Vincent. “Ascension St. Vincent is committed to delivering compassionate, world-class care to children facing tough medical challenges.”

The Honorary Fever Ball Kid program recognizes young patients at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital while highlighting their determination and spirit.
