Thanks to the generosity of the Tulsa area, we raised $24,746,883 in the 2011 Campaign. The total number was revealed Thursday, Nov. 10, in a moving demonstration by several people who have been impacted by TAUW partner agencies.

The party was held at the beautiful new Lorton Performance Center at the University of Tulsa. Guests enjoyed hors d'oeuvres and drinks while hearing reports from key leaders in the 2011 Campaign.

At the end of the program, nine individuals including TAUW President and CEO Mark Graham and his mother created a "human number" to announce the total amount raised.

As a result of your generosity, our 61 partner agencies will be able to serve more than 630,000 people in northeast Oklahoma who need help providing a better lives for their families. Their need has never been greater, and despite a challenging economy, you came through for your friends and neighbors.
