SKY THE FROM IN DROPS SANTA
A cluster of awestruck
children pointed their
hopeful eyes towards the sky
as Santa Claus, using a
helicopter instead of his
usual sleigh, landed at the
Boys & Girls Clubs of
Oklahoma County's
Memorial Park location.
The special visit was courtesy
of Bob Mills Furniture, who
provided the bearded saint,
the helicopter and a variety
of goodies to give away to
the kids. Bob Mills also
donated bicycles to 90 of our
teens. Other Club Members
weren't short for goodies
either; each child received a
teddy bear and/or another
toy thanks to the Walmart
Foundation. This was the first
year for the Walmart
Foundation and Bob Mills
Furniture to participate in the
Boys & Girls Clubs' annual
holiday parties, but BGCOKC
looks forward to their
participation in the future.
ARE WE
EXTREMELY
GRATEFUL
ALL WHO FOR
"We're extremely grateful to Dell for their generous
support over the years," said Jane Sutter, president
and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma
PARTICIPATED
County. "We are excited to have the additional
support of the Walmart Foundation and Bob Mills
Furniture! Anyone who loves a child or teenager
knows the importance of expressing those feelings
to them during the holidays. The staff and board of
the Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County are so
thankful to our community partners for helping us
express love, encouragement and support to our
Club members in very special ways this season!"
In addition to the party at the
Memorial Park location,
BGCOKC hosted holiday
parties at Telstar Elementary
in Midwest City and Santa Fe
South Elementary in South
Oklahoma City to ensure that
all of our Club Kids got the
opportunity to attend,
receive gifts, play games, eat
food and be merry.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of
Oklahoma County would like
to extend a warm thank you
to all who participated in our
holiday parties, especially to
Bob Mills Furniture, Dell,
USPS and the Walmart
Foundation for their
generosity in sponsoring
them.
