Employees of Memorial Health System (MHS) wore blue jeans at work, in September, for a “Jeans Day” fundraiser. Employees who made a donation of at least $5 were allowed to wear blue jeans on Fridays in September. A total donation of $820 was presented to Sam Owens of Solomon. This past summer, Sam was in a vehicle accident where he sustained multiple injuries that left him in critical condition. While stable now, he has a long recovery ahead that includes extensive therapy and doctor visits. The money raised will go towards helping Sam’s family with his treatment from his injuries. The Jeans Day was organized by the MHS Employer of Choice (EOC) committee. Pictured, from left, are Loretta McMillen, EOC committee member; Marci Alcorn, Sam’s mother; Coraline Alcorn, Sam’s sister; Sam; and Kesa Frank, EOC committee member.
