Element Electronics Partners With Gillette Children's Specialty Network For Big Game Giveaway

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In a display of Minnesota-nice, CEO of Element Electronics, Mike O'Shaughnessy gifted his two premium seats to the Big Game to a patient at Gillette Children's Hospital. The winner of the contest was Gage, a 14 year-old kid who was diagnosed with traumatic brain injury when he was just ten months old. Gage is a lifelong Gillette patient. When announced his mother exclaimed, "Oh my gosh, I can't believe Gage won! He is so excited. It is a dream come true for him," said his mother Penny Robinson. "Gage has been a lifelong football fan. It is so cool that it's in our hometown, Minnesota."

For a chance to win, patients participated in a day-long contest on Facebook by posting a photo or video of themselves being bold on Gillette's Facebook page. Following the contest, Gillette selected a winner at random. This ties into the #BoldNorth campaign happening throughout Minnesota for the Big Game weekend. To be eligible, contestants had to be an active Gillette patient who has received at least one treatment or checkup at Gillette within the past year.

Element and Gillette both maintain campuses in the Twin Cities and are committed to giving back. "With the excitement of the Big Game as a backdrop one might forget that there are many not able to fully participate in the fun," said Mike O'Shaughnessy. "It is an honor to make this happen for one amazing person and their guest."
