Employees of Memorial Health System (MHS) wore blue jeans at work, in January, for a “Jeans Day” fundraiser. Employees who made a donation of at least $5 were allowed to wear blue jeans on Fridays in January. A total donation of $1,045 was presented to Cooper Holloway. This was another record amount for a Jeans Day donation by the employees of MHS. In May 0f 2013, Cooper was diagnosed with a Common Variable Immune Disease, which makes it hard for his body to fight off illness. He has weekly infusions to boost his T & B cells. Cooper has given his “Cooper’s Care Cases” to area healthcare facilities, including Memorial Hospital in Abilene, since 2014. This was an opportunity for MHS employees to give back. The Jeans Day was organized by the MHS Employer of Choice (EOC) committee. Pictured, from left, are Alexis Johnson, EOC committee member; Cooper Holloway; and Jessica Younkman, EOC committee member.
