Atlanta charity donation

Nominate a Local Charity to Win a $1,000 Donation

, , , ,

As a double board-certified plastic surgeon, I have an appreciation for the way seemingly small improvements (like fewer wrinkles) can have a powerfully positive impact on a person’s life. But there are members of our community whose needs extend far beyond a confidence boost, and at the plastic surgery offices of Dr. John LeRoy, we strongly believe in giving back to our community by offering help to those in need. That’s why we hold four social media charity contest each year to identify Georgia-based organizations who can use our donation to serve their neighbors. We’re happy to announce that our Summer 2016 charity contest will begin on Thursday, July 21st.

win $1000 for your favorite charityHow do Dr. John LeRoy’s charity contests work?

Our charity contests take place in two stages: nomination and voting. First, we’ll spend a few weeks collecting nominations from our social media followers on the John LeRoy, MD Facebook page. There is no limit to the number of charities which can be nominated, but on August 8th, we’ll announce up to four finalists and we’ll post a poll on our Facebook page where you can vote for a final winner. The winning charity will be announced on Monday, August 22nd, 2016 and will receive a $1,000 donation to further their valuable mission.

How can I get involved in the charity contest?

Anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to participate! The first step is to nominate a non-profit organization by simply visiting our Facebook page between July 21st and August 5th, 2016 and commenting on the post at the top of our page (the one inviting you to submit your nomination). Be sure to “Like” our Facebook page (if you haven’t already) and follow Dr. John LeRoy on Twitter so you can keep an eye on the nomination process and stay informed when the voting stage begins. You can nominate any charity which meets these criteria:

  • The charity must hold a 501(c)(3) non-profit distinction or be a valid and charitable crowdfunding page.
  • The charity must be in Georgia.
  • The nominator must be at least 16 years of age.
  • Each nominator may only nominate one charity.
  • The charity must contribute to a greater good, identifiable through a published mission statement.
  • The charity may not be a previous charity contest winner (recent winners include Little Nuggets Rescue, The Mastocytosis Society, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Atlanta Humane Society, and Atlanta S.E.E.D.s).

At our plastic surgery office, one of the most satisfying parts of our job is seeing patients who are thrilled with their cosmetic surgery results and feel the burden of self-consciousness lifted from their shoulders. In the same way, we want to lift the burdens of our other neighbors in need, whether those burdens include illnesses, poverty, or other issues. We look forward to working with all of you to make Georgia a better, happier, and safer home for us all.
