Spotlight on — Jason johnson General Manager, Southgate Super Vision Center | 1-800-EYE-CARE (1-800-393-2273) 4 Jason Johnson knows that the Southgate Super Vision Center, where he’s General Manager, is not only part of a company. It’s also part of a community. Reaching out to his neighbors is important to Jason, a Downriver native. Recently, InFocus talked with Jason about how he uses his job to make a difference. Q: What was your first taste of community outreach at Henry Ford OptimEyes (HFO)? A: All the HFO offices are active in raising money for Camp Erin Detroit. This is a weekend-long camp for children and teens who have experienced the death of someone they love. When I first joined the company, back in 2009, I had a lifelong friend, the mother of two little girls, who was struggling with cancer. She later passed away. It meant a lot to think that our raffles, bake sales, and other fund-raisers were helping families such as hers. Q: I heard that you found a creative way to get your coworkers involved. What did you do? A: In 2010, when I was in my previous position at the Westland Super Vision Center, I pledged to let the staff shave my head if we raised a certain amount of money for Camp Erin. They made sure we hit that goal! Q: A: Have you started any new community projects at Southgate? Last year, we participated in Movember for the first time. This is a month-long event to raise awareness and money for men’s cancer. All the men in our office, myself included, grew moustaches. We also gave fake moustaches to everyone who made a donation, and we posted their pictures on the wall. It was a lot of fun for a worthy cause. The proceeds went to the Henry Ford Josephine Ford Cancer Center – Downriver. Q: A: Why is giving back so important to you? It’s the way I was raised. I was adopted by parents who already had two biological children, but who decided to adopt two more. I grew up in a Downriver community where people really care about their neighbors. Now I’m working for a company that encourages its employees to get involved. I consider myself very fortunate, and I’m glad to have the chance to give something back. Come See Jason and His Team!
