Road to Giving Campaign Giving Back to Those Who Give

T HROUGHOUT NOVEMBER, the Oklahoma Bar Foundation embarked on a heartfelt Road to Giving campaign in honor of Giving Tuesday. The goal was to celebrate the impact of the non profits we support and give back to those who give. The OBF staff and board members hit the road, visiting three outstanding orga nizations that provide essential services across Oklahoma: Wings of Hope in Stillwater is dedicated to empowering survivors of domestic vio lence with comprehensive support services. The Center for Children and Families in Norman strengthens families through vital mental health and wellness resources.

The CARE Center in

Oklahoma City is a child advocacy organization that works tirelessly on abuse prevention and intervention.

These visits celebrated the inspiring work of each organi zation, with meaningful conver sations, surprises and shared moments that brought both smiles and tears. In addition, the OBF sent surprise gift boxes to all other grantees, spreading joy and appre ciation across our network. You can relive the epic journey by watching the videos on the OBF’s Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn accounts. This Giving Tuesday, consider supporting the OBF in its mission to fund even more impactful grants in 2025 by making a donation at okbarfoundation.org/donate.
