A grateful Carmon Jones directed a $500 grant to the Lenoir Hospital Foundation for use in the UNC Lenoir Family Birth Center.

The gift was made by the Allstate Foundation, an affiliate of Carmon’s insurance company. Carmon’s gesture was an expression of appreciation for the great care she received when delivering her son, last November.
