ABILENE - Employees of Memorial Health System (MHS) wore blue jeans at work, in January, for a Jeans Day fundraiser. 

Employees who made a donation of at least $5 were allowed to wear blue jeans on Fridays in January. 

A total donation of $1,045 was presented to Cooper Holloway. This was another record amount for a Jeans Day donation by the employees of MHS. 

In May 0f 2013, Cooper was diagnosed with a Common Variable Immune Disease, which makes it hard for his body to fight off illness. He has weekly infusions to boost his T &amp; B cells. 

Cooper has given his “Cooper’s Care Cases” to area healthcare facilities, including Memorial Hospital in Abilene, since 2014. This was an opportunity for MHS employees to give back.
