ST. LOUIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Magellan
Health, Inc
. (NASDAQ: MGLN) announced that its St. Louis-based
employees will host their 14th annual Trivia Night to benefit
the BJC Wings Pediatric Hospice Program on Saturday, February 27, 2016.
The Magellan Cares Foundation, a nonprofit charitable organization with
the mission to improve the health and wellbeing of the lives and
communities Magellan Health serves, will also lend its support to the
event in the form of a $2,500 check to the BJC Wings Pediatric Hospice

sports and more. In addition, participants have the chance to take home
