Member Service Representative Tyler Calvert paid forward $500 to the Prisma Health Upstate Foundation’s Center for Integrative Oncology and Survivorship in honor of the late Tiffany Sullivan of Greenville, who lost her battle with cancer in November.
Tyler said, “Tiffany was a close friend that turned into family. This donation reflects the love she gave so freely and is a way to let her generosity live on.”
In addition to Greenville Memorial Hospital, Prisma Health encompasses seven acute-care community hospitals across the Upstate and is the largest nonprofit health company in South Carolina.
According to prismahealth.org, The Center for Integrative Oncology and Survivorship is a group of clinics and services designed to empower patients to navigate the cancer experience and achieve the best quality of life possible.
“Tiffany mattered and her memory continues to make a difference,” said Tyler. “I hope this contribution helps advance care, so fewer families experience the same loss.”
The Pay It Forward program began in 2015. Every Laurens Electric Cooperative employee is entered into a random drawing to receive $500 to pay forward in any way they choose. Each month a new name is drawn, and the employee then has one month to apply the funds toward their own act of kindness.
This initiative is budget-neutral; the funds come from Laurens Electric’s charity events, which employee volunteers make possible.
