"We Are the Roots of UH" 2020-21:
Employee Giveaway Extravaganza!
From Dec. 1, 2020, to Feb. 3, 2021, the Society office celebrated UH employees with a daily drawing for awesome prizes!
For the annual "We Are the Roots of UH," the Society chose to give to you for two months, rather than ask you to give back. This was our way of saying "well done" to everyone.
Check out the prize list (some folks won the awesomely soft UH blanket, below, or the cool UH knit tuques that Kelly and Michelle are modeling, right). If a friend is on the list (or if you are), make sure you nudge them to get in touch with us to claim the prize!
The prizes were donated by the Society office, UH leaders, Society members (volunteer leaders), UH family members, and community members.
"
We Are the Roots of UH" is typically a fun time when UH employees split up into teams and compete in cool contests for a month, as a way to give back and support our residents and our company. Prizes are awarded all month, with final drawings and awards at the end!
At this time every year, more than ever—we think about why our work is critical, why we care so much for our residents, program members, and clients. They are why UH's mission is critical. We are "Always Caring."
--> For 2020, we chose not to ask employees to make gifts during "We Are the Roots of UH."
Looking Back at "We Are the Roots of UH" 2019
Thank you to everyone who participated in the raffle or made a gift in honor of our residents during October 2019! Through that month, 143 employees made gifts to UH. We celebrated with a luau in November 2019! See who won the raffle drawings.
Overall, Team Management-Sparx won for 2019's Highest Participating Team!
And winners of the mini-contests were:
