"Thank you for calling BHW."
Despite the efforts of the United Way/Tobin School Campaign to make giving as easy as possible, only six percent of all BWH employees signed up to donate to United Way and four percent to the Tobin School last year. However, one department went above and beyond in their donations. The Food Services department came together and approached the campaign as a team challenge. Employees encouraged fellow employees to give in any way they could. As a result, Food Services led last year’s donations with a record 92 percent of all employees giving to the United Way, the Tobin School or both. “The United Way/Tobin School Campaign is something we can participate in as a group, and that fosters a lot of pride in the people who give,” said Paul Fournier, general manager, Food Services. “Giving to these campaigns is an individual contribution, but it reflects how we respond as a team. It’s just part of your worklife—get involved, and do what you can.” Employees who are interested in giving to this year’s United Way/Tobin School Campaign can return their pledge cards to their department captains or representatives or any Tobin School Committee member. Drop-off boxes are located at the Main Desk in the Lobby; Nursing Administration office (off main Lobby); Dietary/Nutrition office (2nd floor, off Pod B); and the Volunteer Department (PBB, 3rd floor). Pledge cards will be entered in raffles beginning October 21. The earlier a pledge card is dropped off, the more chances the employee has to win a variety of prizes, so drop off yours today!
