Cast Your Vote to Help a Local Charity Win $1,000
At the plastic surgery office of Dr. John LeRoy, we have much to be grateful for this fall, including the continued support of the metro Atlanta area. To give back to our community, we’re hosting our third 2015 social media charity contest and we invite you to help us decide which local charity will receive our $1,000 donation. We’ve accepted your nominations and chosen the finalists, and now it’s time for you to cast your vote and help an area non-profit organization to continue their valued work.

To cast your vote, visit the Dr. John LeRoy Facebook page and find the post at the top of our timeline, inviting you to vote.

The poll will close on Friday, October 30th, 2015, and the winning charity will be announced on Monday, November 2nd, 2015.
Who are the finalists?
Based on nominations for you and from other patients and Facebook followers of Dr. LeRoy, we’ve selected the following four charities as the finalists:
- Jude’s Hospital for Children – This well-known organization serves children who are suffering from life-threatening illnesses, like cancer and sickle cell disease. By providing these children with free, specialized healthcare, and by continuing to research pediatric illnesses, St. Jude’s Hospital is a much-needed resource in the fight against childhood diseases.
- Loving Arms Cancer Outreach – For patients who are battling cancer, their needs extend even beyond extensive medical care and affect their lives in emotional, financial, cosmetic, and time-consuming ways. Marietta-based Loving Arms Cancer Outreach serves these patients with a number of much-needed programs, like support groups, financial assistance, educational programs, survivor outreach efforts, and access to prostheses, wigs, scarves, and more.
- Atlanta Food Bank – Hunger is a problem that affects families and individuals in all areas of metro Atlanta, and the Atlanta Food Bank serves a network of over 600 non-profit organizations in 29 Georgia counties. Since its founding in 1979, the Atlanta Food Bank has grown to serve the community with seven unique programs, including distributing food items to smaller food pantries, delivering prepared food to shelters and soup kitchens, and helping local families and individuals to apply for the benefits they need.
- Blue Skies Ministries – For families who are dealing with the realities of pediatric cancer, the illness can take over every area of their lives. Founded by a mother who has been in their shoes, Blue Skies Ministries offers families a beach retreat where they can take a break, reconnect together, and restore their hope for the future.
All of us at the office of Dr. John LeRoy would like to take a moment to thank you for helping us make a difference in the lives of others in our community. It is your continued support which allows us to help our patients be their most confident and beautiful selves, and to share our good fortune with the members of the community in need.
