Greater Lansing Food Bank Wins in March Madness Challenge

As the MSU basketball team began its amazing March Madness run, the employees of Lansing Neurosurgery wanted to build on the excitement in a way that would help out the Lansing community. It was Patty Filko, nurse for neurosurgeon Charles Bill, who offered the challenge to their sister organization, The Spine Center. According to the rules, employees had the entire month of March to bring in unexpired food donations. The prize for the facility contributing the most food was a pizza party. With the challenge accepted, the race was on! The number of employees at each location is pretty evenly matched, so excitement was high as donations began to come in.

Items were counted daily, with periodic reports provided by the COO, Dave Corteville. Early on The Spine Center developed a strategy to win the competition. Instead of contributing daily, they held their donations until the last few days of March. By letting Lansing Neurosurgery get ahead in the daily tallies, Spine Center employees hoped to lull their colleagues into a false sense of security. One person at The Spine Center volunteered to be the point person and cheerleader for her facility’s efforts. While donations of money were not included in the rules of the competition, she collected money and went on a shopping trip for her fellow employees in the final days of the event.

In the end, The Spine Center’s strategy was successful; they contributed 1,556 items, while Lansing Neurosurgery donated 662. Together the Centis Health family gave 2,218 food items to the Greater Lansing Food Bank.
