Company and employee support of our "Serve Others First" core value has been achieved in a variety of ways. Obviously, taking the best possible care of our patients is our main focus. But, we also "Serve Others First" by contributing time, money, and support to a variety of different causes.
One of the ways we determined that we could serve others and give back to the community at the same time was to become a corporate sponsor for Brigham Young University's Athletic program for the 2010-2011 year.
Football season provided us an opportunity to give t-shirts at the home football games; we even organized a tailgate party offering free food, prizes, and fun prior to the BYU-San Diego State home game.
Our most fun activity, though, has been the mobility races we organized for time-outs at some of the home game basketball, including the game between #4 ranked San Diego State and #9 ranked BYU. Even more fun was running our mobility race at the rivalry game this past Saturday between BYU (currently ranked #7 ) and the University of Utah, before a sell-out crowd, which included Deron Williams and CJ Miles of the
Utah Jazz.
Two volunteers were taken from the audience, given a 30-second training on how to operate the Jazzy scooters, and told that they would race each other (while riding on the scooters). The race consisted of racing to and around walkers placed almost at half court and back again. The first one to make a basket, while still sitting on the scooter, would be the winner.
Check out the photos from of one of our races:
BYU Mobility Race
Though our mobility racing days are over for this year, we still are proud fans of BYU athletics. Good luck to the basketball team!
