Cone Health workers pay it forward Cone Health handed out $1, nba jerseys000 moncler sizing golden tickets to twelve employees with the idea that the money would be paid forward. Printed on the ticket is this: Receive $1,000 for the organization or cause of your choice to care for our community . (JOSEPH RODRIGUEZ/News Record) When management told Lolita Henley and thousands of other Cone Health System employees to look in their gift bags for a gold ticket, she had no clue the journey she was starting. Out of 8,500 employees, Henley got one of moncler jackets sale men the 12 tickets each worth $1,000 placed in the bags at Cone s three day People Excellence Celebration Moncler Kids blue Clothing-2 PIECES SET-Fall-Winter last August at the Greensboro Coliseum. The follow up instructions were simple: Use the money to help your community. Henley, a clinical documentation specialist, chose Clara s House, a domestic violence shelter and program run by Family Services of the Piedmont. She donated the money to the nonprofit to help upgrade its security system. But the group also needed cellphones, which could give victims secret access to 911. For that project, Henley donated something as valuable as money: her time. "I m a survivor of domestic violence, so it was so personal for me," she said of an earlier marriage. "Someone said to me, Lolita, you ve really exposed yourself to a lot of scrutiny, but I said if it helps one person, it s worth it. " Such was the intent of the gold tickets a pay it forward idea that Chad Brough, Cone Health s executive director of patient experience, borrowed from a previous employer. "The golden moncler mate ticket was nothing more than permission for them to go out and pursue some passion they really care about it," Brough said. "They did some amazing things and were able to support organizations and efforts beyond that $1,000. The original $12,000 investment more than multiplied." Employees got mentors along with the money. Some have spent the past few months contemplating projects or working through them. It immediately had impact: One set up scholarships for at risk girls to attend Girl Scout camps. A former information technology trainer gave his gold moncler camo vest ticket money and items others donated to the Boys and Girls Club in High Point, including 16 refurbished computers to replace the ones they were using, which still had floppy discs. "He took that $1,000 and made it easily $18,000 of good for that community," Brough said. Cicely Alston, a care coordinator at Annie Penn Hospital, donated her money to the nonprofit Rolling Ridge Riding Program in Rockingham County moncler childrenswear to help buy equipment and feed animals. Her nephew, who has a brittle bone disorder, is able to build muscle during the therapy based horseback riding program. When Donna Beck learned of the gold ticket s power, she immediately thought of the children in her brother s elementary school in Thomasville. "He s always telling us how some of the kids don t have this or that," said Beck, a patient accounting representative whose extended family spent their Christmas Moncler Women down jacket big neck Grey money on the children there, so many would wake up to something under their tree. Beck, who lives in Thomasville, decided to give $250 to the school library for books and $750 for the backpack program, which sends food home with the children. "I have no idea who the kids are I don t need to know," Beck said. "People are really hurting, and knowing children are going hungry especially in my hometown bothers me." Henley, the clinical documentation specialist, was bothered by the statistics on domestic violence: The FBI estimates that a woman is beaten Moncler Men down Hooded Camouflage Zip Green Vests every 15 seconds. Frequently, they occur over and over until the woman is killed, according to the American Medical Association. "I never thought that I would tell anyone I was a victim of domestic violence, but after I got this ticket, I felt this was something I needed to do," Henley said. Tom Campbell, president of Family Services of the Piedmont, told her that donated cellphones can be reconditioned and given to victims so they are able to have a phone they can hide or keep with them to dial 911 if needed. Phones that cannot be refurbished can be sent to a company, then stripped of parts. The company sends cash back as a donation. The Cone Health Foundation printed fliers for Henley asking for donated cellphones. She posted the fliers around the building and pressed them into the hands of people she knew. Family Services is the community drop off point for the phones. Henley recalls passing a wall of tiny handprints at the Family Services building and recalling how grateful she was to have the $1,000 to give them. "It was hard to keep my composure, but when I put my hand up against those handprints, I thought these children deserve to be safe," Henley said. "If I had a million dollars, I would probably give it Clara s House to do more."
