Dr. John LeRoy’s 2019 Fall Charity Contest

, , , ,

Local charities are crucial institutions that bring people together to create positive change in the community. Each season, Dr. John LeRoy hosts a social media contest to help raise money for a local charity. He likes to personally involve the community by asking for people to directly post their nominations and votes on his Facebook page. Every charity contest is intended for organizations that haven’t won in the past, to give everyone a fair chance. Over the years, we have made contributions to charities in many different categories, and we have always appreciated the amazing responses. For our Fall 2019 charity contest, the category will be groups that benefit people with learning disabilities.

There are two main components to Dr. John LeRoy’s fall charity contest: the nomination period and voting process. You can nominate a charity that benefits people with learning disabilities until October 25th, 2019. On the pinned Facebook post made by Dr. John LeRoy, participants can directly place their nominations into the comment section. On October 26th, we’ll tally up all the votes to determine the top 4 nominees, which will all be publicly acknowledged. At the risk of disqualification, each participant may only comment once with their vote and all nominations must be local organizations that haven’t been previous winners of Dr. John LeRoy’s charity contests.

The voting protocol for Dr. John LeRoy’s Fall 2019 Charity Contest

Once the top 4 charities have been decided in the category of learning disabilities, participants can cast their votes. Voting will be open for 3 weeks, until November 18th, 2019. Just like the nomination process, participants can cast their votes by commenting on Dr. John LeRoy’s Facebook post. Each person can only vote once for an organization, and it must not be a previous winner of a charity contest. After the voting period has ended, we’ll count all the votes in the comment section to find out which organization has won. The winning charity will receive $1000 from Dr. John LeRoy to benefit their cause.  

We encourage you to participate in this fall charity contest to help us select a deserving, charitable organization. Learning disabilities are neurological issues that prevent people from developing certain skills like reading, writing, memory, math, organization, etc. We’re thrilled to be able to support an organization that helps people improve their cognitive abilities.

If you have any questions about Dr. John LeRoy’s fall 2019 charity contest or to schedule an appointment, contact Dr. LeRoy’s office at 404.843.0840. Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for more updates on the contest and information about our monthly cosmetic specials!

We feel fortunate to be able to spend every day doing the work we’re passionate about – helping patients to be their most confident and beautiful selves. To spread the joy that our patients give us, each year we hold several social media charity contests, when we invite our patients and supporters to visit our Facebook page to help us find a local charity to whom we will present a $1,000 donation. We’ve been accepting nominations over the past several weeks, and now we need your help to choose a winner among the three finalists.

Here’s how you can vote:

Who are the finalists?

  • Our Lady of Perpetual Help Hospice – For terminal cancer patients, every day is precious. But in order to meet their medical needs and to make their days as comfortable as possible, they require consistent nursing care, which is an expense that many cannot afford. For these patients, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Hospice serves as a facility that can give terminal cancer patients the care they could not afford elsewhere. The organization does not accept any payment from patients or their families, relieving the financial burden during their time of hardship.
  • TJ and Friends Foundation – In 2008, TJ Johnson was facing a cancer diagnosis. To ease the financial strain of medical costs, his friends organized an escorted motorcycle ride to raise money for TJ’s cause. In TJ’s memory, his friends have continued their quest to provide financial relief to cancer patients in northeast Georgia. While researchers fight to find better treatment and a cure for the disease, the TJ and Friends Foundation helps local cancer patients with their day-to-day financial struggles through fundraising events like softball tournaments, horse shows, bass tournaments, auctions, and more.
  • Atlanta Humane Society – As the oldest charitable organization in Atlanta, the Atlanta Humane Society has become a leader in ending pet homelessness and overpopulation in our community. The organization takes a multi-faceted approach, combining educational programs with veterinary care and adoption centers that never place “time limits” on the amount of time animals can remain in their care.

We truly value being a part of and giving back to our community, and we would be honored to have your help in choosing which local charity will receive $1,000 to continue their important work. To cast your vote, visit our Facebook page and follow the steps above. Or, to learn more about us and the procedures and services we offer, explore our website or call us to schedule a consultation.
