Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
5LINX® Enterprises, Inc. hosted thousands of Independent Marketing Representatives at its National Training Event at the Georgia Congress Convention Center in Atlanta May 19-22, 2010.
At each National Training Event, 5LINX® gathers donations from its Independent Marketing Representatives for a charitable gift to a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in the city in which the event is held. At the 5LINX® National Training Event in Atlanta, 5LINX® selected Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta as its recipient based on its excellence in all aspects of pediatric care.
“5LINX® and its representatives have always had a charitable heart—especially when it comes to children,” says Craig Jerabeck President and CEO of 5LINX®. “Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta was our choice because of the outstanding service and support they provide to children in need in the Atlanta community. We are proud to be able to help them make an impact on even more lives.”
Sharon Robinson, Manager, Children’s Miracle Network at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, addressed the audience and played a video highlighting the Hospital’s mission.
Donations were taken and over $7,000 was raised among the audience. 5LINX® matched the amount raised and a $14,364 check was presented to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta the next day.
“It was a pleasure to work with the Team at 5LINX®,” said Robinson. “When I was first contacted to present the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta story on behalf of the Children’s Miracle Network to the 5LINX® National Training Event, I did not expect to be speaking in front of such a large audience. Then, when the attendees were so incredibly generous with their contributions, and 5LINX® corporate matched their contributions dollar for dollar, I was just blown away. The 5LINX® Team went above and beyond any expectations I had and have positively impacted the lives of the children and their families that we serve. Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta is truly grateful for the compassion, professionalism and generosity of 5LINX® Enterprises.”
