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.

Dr. LeRoy’s Spring 2019 Charity Contest Details

, , , ,

During each season of the year, I host a social media contest to raise money for a local charity organization. Since the purpose of this event is to contribute to a charity in our community, I like to ask for input from my social media followers about which group to nominate. We select the category based on the suggestions so that a specific type of charity isn’t repeated. However, the final decision will be based upon your voting on Facebook. Since we started this contest, we have proudly contributed to many wonderful local organizations. For this spring, the category will be Memory loss, Dementia or Alzheimer’s.

Nomination

Each of our social media contests is split into two separate components. The first part is a three-week-long nomination period. For the Spring Charity contest, our social media followers can nominate different local charities that fit the category of Memory Loss, Dementia and Alzheimer’s. The nomination window runs from now until 5/8/19. To promote your charity of choice, you can comment on the pinned post that displays the contest details on Dr. John LeRoy’s Facebook page. The charity that is mentioned in the most comments wins. So that every organization has a fair shot at winning, participants can only comment once with their charity selection that hasn’t been a previous contest winner or they will be disqualified. Once the nomination period ends on 5/8/19, we will announce the top four finalists.

Voting

Once the top four finalists are selected, the voting process of the charity contest will begin. Any of our social media followers can vote on the list of featured local charity organizations. The candidate with the most votes will be publicly announced in a Facebook post on 5/29/19. Participants must only vote once on their specific charity in the category of memory loss, dementia or Alzheimer’s.

My goal as a plastic surgeon has always been to help people. Our whole office is very proud to give back to our community through this charity contest. It allows us to help people beyond the field of plastic surgery. I encourage you to participate and help us find a worthy candidate for our $1000 donation. Please be looking for our upcoming Facebook posts in the next few weeks and don’t miss out on your chance to vote! If you have any questions, contact Dr. John LeRoy’s office at 404.843.0840.

TJ and Friends Foundation exists solely to provide financial aid to cancer patients in Elbert, Franklin, Lincoln, Madison, Wilkes, Hart, and Oglethorpe Counties (Georgia). The organization utilizes a variety of fundraising activities, such as golf tournaments and raffles, to fund its work.

The Red Cross has a broad humanitarian mission that extends across the globe. Its mission is to prevent and relieve suffering anywhere it exists through five service areas: disaster relief, health and safety services, blood donation, military member and family support, and international services that include education and community building.

The Alzheimer’s Association‘s goal is threefold: to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through research and treatment; to care for and support everyone affected by the disease; and to reduce the risk of dementia. AA has numerous local chapters, a 24/7 helpline, over 4,500 support groups nationwide, and more than 20,000 education programs.
