Hospital stays are scary, especially for kids. That’s why Morris-Jenkins is proud to partner with Levine Children’s Hospital (LCH) to bring a little joy to kids and their families as they receive treatment! From renovating their rooftop playground to purchasing cards and banners that celebrate when a child finishes treatment, we always look for ways to support LCH year after year.
We’ve partnered with LCH for years, and it’s the only organization we fundraise for. There are so many great organizations around our community, but the best way for us to make the BIGGEST impact is to put all of our efforts on one thing—Levine Children’s Hospital! And every year, we do some really cool things to raise money:
Annual Golf Tournament
Since 2023, Morris-Jenkins has hosted an annual golf tournament to raise money for Levine Children’s Hospital! It’s one of our biggest events of the year. Employees, vendors, friends, and family all come compete and have a great time out on the green! We also have contests and raffle prizes, and all the proceeds go directly toward the children’s hospital. Our annual golf tournament raises tens of thousands of dollars for LCH every year!

Raffles
Throughout the year, we hold multiple big raffles to raise money. Most of these raffles are for employees only, but once a year, we also do one just for our Priority Advantage® Members!
Usually, our Priority Advantage® raffle includes some kind of equipment for your home (such as a tankless water heater) and a free installation by Morris-Jenkins! As for the employee raffles, our vendors donate all kinds of things like gadgets, camping gear, event tickets, and more. Every raffle we hold raises thousands more dollars that we use to make a difference at Levine’s!

Payroll Deductions
Over half of Morris-Jenkins employees donate part of EVERY paycheck to Levine Children’s Hospital! This is a consistent way that we work together to raise money throughout the whole year for LCH. It’s the easiest way to donate, and employees are able to change their contribution or opt in/out at any time. The funds build up week after week, and by the end of the year, we can make a huge difference in the lives of the kids at the children’s hospital!
Hopebuilders 5k
What’s better than raising money for the children’s hospital AND getting in a good workout?
Every year, we come together to run, jog, or walk at the Hopebuilders 5k for Levine Children’s Hospital! Sometimes, we’ll make things extra fun by wearing special shirts or fun tutus as a team. We’ve even brought Truck 17 out to the run before! At Hopebuilders, there are tons of activities for families, like arts and crafts, bounce houses, mini pumpkin stations, and more.
Ice Cream Truck Donations
Have you seen our ice cream truck around? All summer long, we share smiles and free ice cream with the people around the Charlotte area! This is something we love to do just to spread a little joy in our community, but sometimes when we’re out and about in neighborhoods, parks, or events, people wanna donate money to our ice cream truck. Every dollar donated goes right to our collection for the Levine Children’s Hospital!
Wanna help with our efforts to make hospital stays less scary for kids? The next time you see our ice cream truck, feel free to donate through us!
Super Bowl Squares
Who doesn’t love friendly competition? Every year when the Super Bowl rolls around, we have a little extra fun watching the big game. The biggest football fans at Morris-Jenkins get together and play Super Bowl Squares! Players simply pick their squares and place their bets. At the end, winners split prize money, with half going to LCH!
Morris-Jenkins Store
Everyone loves Morris-Jenkins merch, especially the people that work here! To help raise some extra money, we have an online shop where our employees can get things like Mr. Jenkins bobbleheads, Morris-Jenkins blankets, shirts, cups, umbrellas, and even socks. And all the proceeds go toward Levine Children’s Hospital!
Poker Nights, Corn Hole Tournaments, Family Bingo, Yard Sales, and More!
We have our big annual traditions, but we also have a lot of other cool events sprinkled throughout the year to raise extra money for LCH. We’ve hosted poker nights, corn hole tournaments, family bingo nights, and more. Sometimes, we even have yard sales where we sell office supplies, things from old commercial shoots, leftover items from events, and other things we no longer need (and all the money goes toward Levine’s, of course!).
Every year, we host at least one poker night for employees! Our vendors donate some great prizes, and we have a fun night playing some hands and raising some money for the kids.
We especially love when there are ways to involve our employees’ families so everyone can get in on the fun! Bingo night is one of our family-friendly activities where even the kiddos can join. And of course, people go home with some great prizes!
Mr. Jenkins Told Me… We Love Levine Children’s Hospital!
Every year, we do bigger and better things to raise money for the superheroes at Levine’s! A lot of our employees have first-hand experience getting care for their children at Levine Children’s Hospital, and we always know they’re in great hands there. We’re so fortunate to have one of the best children’s hospitals in the world right in our backyard!
