Vote and Think Green!
Help select a $10,000 PepsiCo™ sustainability grant
At UF Health, we’re looking for ways to be more environmentally responsible. Our commitment to sustainability practices includes reducing waste and promoting efficient use of resources.
PepsiCo™ is an official partner of UF and shares this commitment. That’s why UF Health Shands and PepsiCo™ are collaborating to give our employees an opportunity to Think Green!
For the Think Green! campaign, PepsiCo™ will support our hospital system with a $10,000 sustainability grant. During the July 10-21 submission period, individuals and teams of up to five UF Health Shands employees submitted ideas to improve the organization in an eco-friendly way. The ideas will be narrowed down to three to five finalists and then Aug. 14-25 you can go online to vote for your favorite.
“This campaign demonstrates our organization’s pledge to creating a more sustainable environment as we continue to provide high-quality clinical care to our patients,” said Lara Zamajtuk, UF Health Shands Operations associate vice president. “We wanted to engage our employees in the process to create a sense of excitement, creativity, teamwork and advocacy with regard to this initiative.”

Each member of a winning team will receive an Apple Watch and the $500 gift card will be equally distributed among team members. Additionally, runner-up individuals and groups will each receive a $100 Visa gift card! All prizes from PepsiCo™ are treated as taxable income and taxes will be covered.
