INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Colts quarterback Peyton Manning will headline a fundraiser for the Indianapolis children's hospital that bears his name.

The Peyton Manning Children's Hospital at St. Vincent was named for the former Super Bowl MVP last September.

Also attending the April 25 gala will be Manning's wife, Ashley, and his father and former NFL quarterback Archie Manning. Other guests include Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, John Mellencamp, CBS NFL host James Brown and Colts president Bill Polian.

About 530 people are expected to be invited to the event at the N.K. Hurst Bean Factory near the site of the new Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
