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.

Plastic Surgeon, Dr. LeRoy Hosts Fall 2018 Charity Contest

, , , ,

If you’ve been a plastic surgery patient or a social media follower of mine for a while, then you’re probably familiar with the quarterly contest that I run for local charity organizations. Once every season of the year, I host a social media charity contest that donates $1000 to one local charity that hasn’t previously won. Since many of my social media followers are members of the community, I like to ask for their input about which organization we should focus our resources on. We will pick the category of donation, but the specific entities who will receive the money are entirely dependent upon your vote. Over the years, we’ve helped some fantastic groups continue to make the community a better place. The nominations for this year will be within the category of animal shelters and rescue.

The Charity Contest Details Include:

Each of our social media charity contests have two separate phases. The first phase is the nomination process. During our nomination process, we’ll make a post on September 28th, 2018 that asks for recommendations on which local charity to select under the animal shelters and rescue category. For three weeks on the John L. LeRoy Facebook page, followers will nominate the animal shelter or rescue organization of their choice by commenting with their selection. Participants must only nominate an organization once and all previous winners will be omitted from the contest. To give each contender a fair chance, anyone who nominates more than once will be disqualified. The top four most popular nominations will become the finalists.

Once the finalists are chosen, the voting phase of the charity contest begins. During our voting process, Facebook followers will then vote between the four finalists and the winner with the most votes will receive the $1000 donation. The winner will be announced on October 26th, 2018.

Decades ago, I decided to become a double board-certified plastic surgeon with the goal of helping people. This motivation has not changed for me. I’m proud to serve my community and hosting this charity contest gives me a chance to help others beyond the realm of plastic surgery. This fall, I would greatly appreciate your assistance in finding a worthy animal shelter or rescue center for the $1000 donation. Keep an eye on my Facebook posts over the next few weeks and don’t forget to cast your vote!
