Gronk surprised the local heroes during a video call on Monday. Woody Nixon, Belinda Spahn, Heather Stegmeier, and Mandy Mueske will be among those in attendance during The Big Game on Sunday, February 7.
“We want you there inside Raymond James Stadium cheering us on,” Gronk exclaimed in a video posted to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Twitter account.
One of the honorees, nurse Mueske, said she watches the Bucs every Sunday but has never been to a game before now.
The NFL has invited over 7,500 healthcare workers to attend the big game as honorary guests.
Four local healthcare heroes were under the impression they would not be attending #SBLV... until now.
