Graham Hospital encourages employees to “Hit a Home Run” with United Way contributions: Each year Graham Hospital is one of the largest local contributors to the United Way for Spoon River Country, explains United Way for Spoon River Country Executive Director Diana Fuller. “The run a workplace campaign and encourage employees to donate to the United Way. They provide incentives and prizes to those who choose to participate,” says Fuller. This year they are doing something a little different by holding a company-wide contest to rev up their annual campaign. “Hit a Home Run” for the United Way, is a way to encourage 100 percent participation in all departments, and makes a fun connection with the World Series. Canise McComb, Graham Hospital Human Resources Director explains; “Our goal is for each department to “hit a home run” by having 100 percent employee participation. There will be a table set up for employees to turn in their pledge cards, and fun baseball shaped chocolates for all to enjoy.”
