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 $920 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 20th. 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: Billy Hansen, EOC committee member; Murphy; and Matilda Calvin, EOC committee member.
