Mark your place in Cox history with ED brick project
Want to make a statement that will stand the test of time? Employees and the community have a chance to be part of the construction of the new Emergency Department through a fundraiser offered by the CoxHealth Foundation.
Donors will be able to sponsor one of 2,200 bricks that will be used in a pathway in the ED garden. The bricks will be engraved with up to three lines of text, such as names, special messages, remembrances or favorite sayings.
The purchasers of the first 500 bricks will receive a second brick for free - give it as a gift, remember another special occasion, honor a parent or grandparent, put the grandkids' names out for all to see! It's your choice.
Each brick costs $100 and payroll deduction is available in $25 increments for employees. Donors will also receive a miniature brick as a keepsake of their donation.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will support grants for patients who cannot afford care through the Foundation’s Good Samaritan Fund, which helps provide financial grants for patients to the ER who cannot afford their care.
