For three days in July, while attending a convention, Bios Life Franchise
Owners had participated in several fund-raising events for the Florida Children’
s Hospital—an Orlando-based children’s hospital which provides care for more
than 100,000 families and their children every year.
From playing Plinko, bidding on great items at a silent auction, to the fund
raiser finale—a 5K Run/Walk on Saturday morning—Bios Life Franchise
Owners and Unicity were anxious to participate in donating and raising funds
for this year’s cause.
But all of these activities were no match for what happened Saturday afternoon
at the final general session of the Convention.
Polite applause greeted Stewart Hughes, Chairman and CEO of Unicity and
Curt Hedges, Unicity President, as they presented Brea Barnes with a $6,000
check—the funds raised that week at the Convention.

However, Hughes and Hedges are rarely satisfied with first efforts—especially when they know that people are able to do
so much better.
Hughes paused in the middle of the check presentation and made an impromptu challenge to the Presidential Diamond
rank Franchise Owners (the highest-ranking franchisees) to contribute another $4,000—and if they’d do that, Unicity
would add $10,000 in order to make a total donation of $20,000 to the Florida Children’s Hospital.
As his challenge was being accepted, Hughes raised the bar again, challenging the Franchise Owners to donate $15,000
and Unicity would match that with $15,000 for a total of $30,000.
Without hesitating, Hughes pulled out all the stops and announced that if the Diamonds could raise $20,000, then Unicity
would match the contribution with $20,000 for an impressive grand total donation of $40,000!
In just a matter of minutes a $6,000 contribution grew to an outstanding $40,000 donation. An astonished and appreciative
Ms. Barnes said, “This is the best math I have ever witnessed in my life!”
The Florida Children’s Hospital has expressed their deep gratitude and has announced that they plan to name a room
after Unicity in the upcoming new wing of the hospital.
