Employees of Memorial Health System (MHS) recently wore blue jeans at work for another “Jeans Day” fundraiser. Employees who make a donation of at least $5 are allowed to wear blue jeans on the last Friday of the month. For August, a total donation of $282 was presented to Tori Murphy, organizer of Derrik’s Ride. Derrik’s Ride is an event to help in the fight against childhood cancer, which features a poker run, bike show, dinner, auction, and more. This year’s event, to be held in Old Abilene Town, is September 19th. For more information, search “Derrik’s Ride” on Facebook or call 785-280-3178. The Jeans Day was organized by the MHS Employer of Choice (EOC) committee.
