Here's a tip: Customers who use TendedBar at Jaguars games can direct gratuities to Nemours
When customers at Jaguars games and other events at TIAA Bank Field use TendedBar, an automated beverage service, they can benefit Nemours Children's Health by the simple act of tipping.
TendedBar has selected Nemours as the beneficiary of its "Tending to Health" gratuity program, building on last year's pilot program in which more than 90 percent of the TendedBar customers designated their tips to charity.

A majority of those customers selected Nemours as their charity of choice, so TendedBar CEO Justin Honeysuckle said all of the tips this season will go to the facility that is one of the nation's largest multistate pediatric health systems, including two free-standing children's hospitals and a network of nearly 75 primary and specialty care practices.
In addition artwork from children treated within the Nemours Children’s network and stories of patients overcoming serious medical conditions will be prominently featured on TendedBar units to help raise awareness and attention for the incredible work accomplished by Nemours Children’s Health.
Honeysuckle said he didn't have final numbers from last year's tips but said the company will make an overall pledge to Nemours in the near future.
"Our footprint is rapidly growing and we are excited to have Nemours join us as TendedBar revolutionizes the fan experience in venues throughout the country," he said.
TendedBar was launched last year to provide customers with a fast and safe way to purchase their beverages, with shorter lines and wait times, and more social distancing. Customers are given the option to tip as part of the payment process.
Nemours officials said the money raised from TendedBar will go to its mental and behavioral health services and programs.
"Additionally, through the internationally renowned Nemours’ KidsHealth.org platform, medical information and health resources will be supplemented and shared worldwide with kids, parents, teachers and other healthcare providers," said Kevin Carraccio, senior vice-president of Philanthropy at Nemours. "Nemours’ Kidshealth.org receives, on average, one million hits per day and is the most-visited pediatric health resource in the world.”
Fans can create a TendedBar account on their home computer by visiting tendedbar.com/registration/ and following the instructions. After completing a one-time registration, members can utilize TendedBar’s proprietary facial recognition bar tab technology to open a self-closing tab at any TendedBar.
To register, customers will need to agree to the Terms and Conditions, take a selfie, upload an approved government-issued identification from their phone, and input a valid credit card payment instrument.
