"Split the Pot" Raises $817 for the Barnes Foundation


During the week of August 16, ProMed held a "split the pot" contest in our corporate office to benefit the Barnes Foundation's Second Annual Walk/Run for Life. Employees could purchase cards for $1 each or $5 for six cards. The cards were cut in half, with employees keeping one half and other going into the pot.
The idea was that the employee whose card was drawn would keep half of the total raised, and the other half would be donated to the Barnes Foundation...but that wasn't how it turned out!

Barnes Foundation President Amy Gollan asked Jim Arnold, Director of Purchasing, to select the winning card. He did - and managed to draw his own card! He immediately said that he would donate his winnings to the Barnes Foundation. Instead of $408, the foundation received $817!

Split the Pot was so popular, we're doing it again this week!
