Morrow County Hospital CEO, CJ Miller and Russ Merrin were glad to have a hot day when they hit the dunk tank Wednesday. They were some of the good sports to take a dunk for United Way this week. Hospital employees lined up in the parking lot to pay for a chance to land their boss in the tank.

They are taking their campaign to the public by opening their raffle and luncheons for employees, friends and visitors to take part in the fun.

United Way Director, Jodi Hayes said she will arrange the sale of tickets for anyone who is unable to get out to the hospital if you give her a call at the United Way office 419-946-2053.

Raffle items in the mix are two tickets to Mid-Ohio Race Car Course, Pizza for a year from Pizzaburg, Flowers for a year from Mary K’s, six month and three month gift certificates for the Morrow County Community Center, six combo meal tickets from Wendy’s at SR 95 & I71, $35 gift from Chocolates and More in Edison. two Columbus Blue Jackets tickets, $125 gift certificate from Pinkfish Photography and $50 in catering from the Morrow County Hospital.
