Four Ways to Help Your Community Before Summer is Over

Summertime is full of relaxation, vacations, lounging by the pool and…giving back? That’s right! Did you know that there are many events taking place this summer that are giving back to your local community? Want to add “donating blood” or “feeding the needy” to your summer line up? Here are four ways you can help your community before summer is over. 



1 - Project School Supplies: For the ninth year TTCU is teaming up KXOJ and Cox Communications, along with several charities in northeast Oklahoma to raise money and supplies to help children succeed in the classroom. Through the month of August, donate school supplies at any TTCU branch location and we will ensure the supplies are given to children in need. If you prefer to make a monetary donation instead, you can do so at any teller line. This year the Modern Woodmen Insurance Group has offered a matching donation to kick off this campaign. Just think, with the matching donation, if you donate $25 you can help two children in need.

2 - Tulsa Poker Run: If you have a motorcycle, this is the perfect charity event for you! American Airlines and the Transport Workers Union are coordinating the 6th Annual Tulsa Poker Run on August 28, 2010, with all proceeds going to the Tulsa Area United Way. First bike out at 10am, and wrap-up party at Port City Raceway. Raffle prizes include a new Chevy truck from Jim Glover Chevrolet, or a new truck from Jim Norton Toyota, or a new Harley Fat Boy Lo from Meyers-Duren, plus many other prizes and auctions. Visit www.TulsaPokerRun.com for more information.

3 - Support Dress for Success Tulsa:  This is probably the easiest way to help someone this summer. Now through August, 31, 2010, complete a My Expressions of Kindness profile in support of Dress for Success and, $25.00 will be donated to the organization on your behalf. Share your Kindness profile on Facebook and Twitter and an additional $5.00 donation will be made! It's easy, fun and a great way to support Dress for Success in its efforts to help disadvantaged women thrive both in work and in life.

4 - Save a Life Summer:  Help save a life this summer by participating in the third annual "Save A Life Summer" Red Cross blood drive sponsored by TTCU. Local high school rivals Jenks and Union are at it again, challenging each other to see who can help collect the most blood this summer. As an added incentive, everyone who donates at a "Save A Life Summer" drive will be automatically entered to win $500 in Visa gift cards from TTCU. One lucky Union fan and one lucky Jenks fan will each win a $250 gift card drawn randomly from blood drive participants. Plus, two more lucky fans, one from Jenks and one from Union will win an Extreme Trip to the Jenks/Union game on September 10th, including four reserved seats, dinner for four and a VIP limo ride to the game! The blood drive is Tuesday, August 24th at the TTCU Jenks branch. Click here to register.
