Carlson Chiropractic Center Asking Facebook Fans To Help Designate Donation to Benefit Area Need During Holiday Season

With the devastation of the May 22 tornado dramatically increasing the numbers of those in need, and the Holidays fast approaching, the team at Carlson Chiropractic Center is taking a new approach to their annual Holiday giving. Turning to their Facebook fans, the Carlson Chiropractic team is asking who people are donating their time, treasure, and talent to, and who could use Carlson’s help. Kicking off Monday, November 21, Carlson Chiropractic is asking for feedback through December 12.

“This is a great way to build conversation and find out which of the many wonderful outreach organizations in Joplin could use an extra hand this year,” Heather Carlson, Director of Operations and Marketing said. “I really think this will not only benefit the organization that we help, but all of the organizations throughout Joplin.”

Carlson feels that many of the 1,200+ Carlson Chiropractic Centers Facebook fans will not only join in the conversation, but also gain new awareness about a church or organization that they could also help. “I really feel like if we work together, we can make a difference. We are a strong community and I know that together we can help our friends and neighbors, and most importantly, the children.”

The Facebook campaign simply asks fans to share the name of their favorite outreach organization, and the organization with the most “likes” or “votes” will receive a $100 check from Carlson Chiropractic Center, just in time for the Holidays. The campaign, as well as a Food Drive in November, and the Salvation Army Angel Tree in their lobby during the Holidays, are just a few of the ways Carlson Chiropractic Center can give back during the Holiday Season.

“It is truly better to give than receive,” Dr. Steven M. Carlson added. “It is always very exciting to see so many of our patients willing to help us help others, and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can do this year.”
