The members of GTAR donated $2,000 in just under 1 week. GTAR and MLS Tech both contributed $1,000, bringing our total to $4,000. With these funds we were able to adopt 30 Angels from the Tulsa Salvation Army Angel Tree!

We were able to fulfill the “needs” and “wishes” for each child we adopted! GTAR’s Member Engagement Director, Tiffany Villines, and Affiliate member, Shelley Carson, spent over 7 hours at Walmart handpicking each clothing item and toy for every child. They rolled out of the store with a convoy of 5 shopping carts filled to the brim, and with a lot of strategic planning they were able to fit everything in 1 car!

The angel tree donations will be dropped off on Friday, December 10th so that The Salvation Army can prepare them for Christmas morning! Thank you for helping us make this such a huge success and ensuring these kids have an amazing holiday!
