Mike Ruby, Board President of United Way of NW OK said, “We are planning to social distance at each table, take the necessary precautions for safety sake and most importantly celebrate United Way, our agencies and their achievements.”
Kyle and Alex Williams served as 2020-21 chairs for the campaign. Highlights of the United Way’s “United Together” Campaign came in the form of several pledges, event fundraisers, contributions and gifts of stock.
“The Golf Tournament was the only event that we were able to hold due to COVID-19. However, as usual, it was a huge success in raising funds to help support our 15 partner agencies. Thank you to everyone who donated their time, energy or money in any way, large or small, or gave words of encouragement. We are truly blessed to have been a part of this campaign and the United Way organization.” Kyle Williams stated.
Several individuals will receive special recognition during the event including: Tocqueville Society Leadership Awards, Certificates of Recognition and Achievements, and the 2021 recipient of the Dick Lambertz Memorial Award.
Funds raised through the United Way of Enid & Northwest Oklahoma’s campaign go to support 15 nonprofit member agencies: Booker T. Washington Community Center, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City, Cimarron Council – Boy Scouts of America, American Red Cross serving NW Oklahoma, Community Development Support Association, Denny Price YMCA, Human Services Alliance of Greater Enid, Garfield County Child Advocacy Council, Girl Scouts of Western Oklahoma, Loaves and Fishes, RSVP of Enid and North Central Oklahoma, Thayne A.
