So you're probably thinking to yourself, "C.O.O. wears dress for a cause"!? What's that about? Well, over at TMC Orthopedic we do things a little differently to motivate our employees.
As many of you know, the Amputee & Prosthetic Center recently sponsored the 2nd Annual Airborne Amputees event hosted by the Limbs of Love organization, where amputees from across Texas skydived to show that life goes on after amputation. The event proved to be a success, as a crowd of over 600 gathered to support amputees (some even chose to jump with them) and participated in a day of fun filled activities at Skydive Spaceland.
As a way to raise money for this event and to support Limbs of Love, an organization that provides limbs to amputees that cannot otherwise afford them, employees sold raffle tickets to the public to win a 50" flat screen TV. Joe Sansone, C.E.O., and Ryan Stelck, C.O.O., were determined to raise money for this worthy cause. They decided that in order to motivate their employees to sell as many raffle tickets as possible, they needed to provide an incentive. They chose to divide employees into two groups, and whichever group sold the most raffle tickets would have dinner cooked for them by the "loser" wearing a dress. When it came down to it, Joe Sansone's team sold the most tickets, and together the two teams raised a total of $20,670.00 for Limbs of Love.
Last Thursday, Ryan Stelck kept his word and showed up to cook and serve dinner to Joe Sansone's team, all in his pretty purple dress, pictured here. Ryan Stelck cooked a delicious dinner and everyone had a blast...now we just have to wait and see what bet they come up with to raise money next year.
It was evident that Ryan took pride in his ability to cook and serve all the while maintaining his dignity while wearing the short spaghetti strapped purple sundress (that left nothing to the imagination when bending over). The effort and time Ryan spent in coordinated his outfit for the evening became evident when you saw that the outfit he chose came with matching purse and hat, as we know in this day and age its hard for a large person to find matching shoe's for a foot that size.
ReplyDeleteAs for the food, I can only say that the appetizers and dessert were the best part (both were bought not made by Ryan). His skills at the grill are surpassed only by Joe’s awesome steaks. (Another challenge won by Joe)
I look forward to next year’s competition and the insuring challenge between the 2 rivals as they compete for who can raise the most money for such a good cause.
