Employees of Memorial Health System in Abilene wore blue jeans at work for another “Jeans Day” fundraiser on Fridays throughout the month of June.

According to the hospital, employees make a donation of at least $5 and are allowed to wear blue jeans at work. A total donation of $750 was donated to the Herington Fire Department for CPR training.

The Herington Fire Department has agreed to provide a CPR class for free if the cost of the CPR cards, for anyone who wants to take the class, are covered ($17 per card). The money raised will go towards helping this effort.

If you, or someone you know, is interested in taking a CPR class call Andrew at 785-258-0336.
