Employees of Memorial Health System (MHS) in Abilene wore blue jeans at work for another “Jeans Day” fundraiser on Fridays throughout the month of August. Employees make a donation of at least $5, and they are allowed to wear blue jeans at work.
For August, a total donation of $1,215 was presented to Tori Murphy, organizer of Derrik’s Ride. Derrik’s Ride is an annual event to help in the fight against childhood cancer, which features a poker run, dinner, auction, and more. This year’s event is in Old Abilene Town on Saturday, September 21st. For more information, search “Derrik’s Ride” on Facebook.
The Jeans Day was organized by the MHS Employer of Choice (EOC) committee. Pictured from left are: Pam Schoemaker, EOC committee member; Murphy; and Billy Hansen, EOC committee member.
