WINNING SPIRIT IN ACT
PRESTIGE TAKES OUT TR
On Friday, May 3, 2013, managers from Prestige Financial descended with
bags on the frontage road that separates their office from I-15 in Salt Lake
of what appeared to be several years’ worth of accumulated debris.
Bryant Henrie, chief operating officer, deflected credit for the effort. “Prest
employees, like those throughout the Miller Group, take a great deal of prid
work and their workplace, so it didn’t surprise me when this materialized o
from them, without my involvement.
“Fifth West serves in effect as our driveway,” Henrie continued, “and this w
a blight for the neighborhood. So what was the team going to do, keep ho
magically disappear someday?”
The activity, which was coordinated with city officials and lasted the bette
afternoon, yielded three truck beds piled high with garbage.
“We did distribute gloves to those who helped out, although hazmat suits m
in order,” noted Mark Whitworth, operations coordinator who oversaw the
VITALITY UPDATE:
VITAL VOICES
On February 20, 2013, Cody Belnap of Prestige
Financial participated in a blood drive through
ARUP to support the community and earn
Vitality points.
“I never thought that doing something as simple
as donating blood for Vitality points would
turn into something awesome,” shared Cody
Belnap. “I was sitting at work when I received a
phone call from ARUP. They said that my blood
type was a match to an eight-year-old boy that
was having a heart transplant on Sunday and
asked if I would be willing to donate blood on
Saturday. I told the ARUP contact that I would
love to and would be very happy to help in any
way. The ARUP contact thanked me so much for
the help and stated that the little boy would be
very happy to know that I was willing to help. It
is amazing to know that something so little, like
donating blood for Vitality points, could end up
affecting a little boy’s life. It was a great learning
opportunity of how important donating
blood can be.” WS
