Employees themselves raised $8,393 and the company is matching all funds. Getting to that dollar amount took a lot of effort and volunteers. Here’s the breakdown:

    Raffle and paleta sales: $4,735
    Coin collection: $265
    Popcorn/ fruit/ paleta day: $1,393
    Monetary donations: $2,000

Derek Hall won the raffle tickets for the Dallas Mavericks and Vandi Vongkham won two tickets to the February 18 Mariah Carey concert in Dallas. The Wii was won by Dave Bolles.

Congratulations to the winners and thank you to all employees who generously gave so that the Red Cross can continue to bring much-needed help to the people of Haiti.

About 40 people gathered at 2 p.m. today to honor those Monitronics employees who have served the country in the Armed Services. The reception in the main tower lasted 45 minutes with American flag cake and time for the veterans to introduce themselves and say a few words about their service.

Dave Bolles Sr., Supervisor of the Executive Response Team, opened the event. The Vietnam vet and 28-year retired U.S. Marine emphasized the company’s commitment to veteran employees.

“Monitronics is the first company that I have worked for that has stopped and recognized their veteran employees,” he said. “This Veterans Day is for us, those of us who served in any capacity. “
