Good afternoon and happy Wednesday!


We have A LOT to cover this week, so bare with me through the long email.


Giveback opportunities this week

We have a couple of giveback events this week! Please join us at both if you are available.


Howdy Hats OKC

Today, until 4:00pm, head to 1200 Belford Ave in Nichols Hills to make a custom hat with Howdy Hats! Refinery OKC is also there with accessories, and With Love by Lex is there with permanent jewelry.


HABIT in Edmond

Tomorrow, Thursday 3/7, join us at HABIT in Edmond from 10am-6pm as they donate 10% of all sales mentioning ICS back to our mission. One of our Teen Associate Board members set this up, so let's show her how strong our community is when it comes to feeding babies! Online orders and in-store purchases will count for this giveback. Shop online at thisthis linklink. Shop in stores at 3400 S Bryant Ave.


The Boots and Ball Gowns Raffle and Silent Auction are live

It is the week of our 15th annual Boots and Ball Gowns, and the raffle and silent auction are live and ready for bidding! You do not need to be present at Boots and Ball Gowns to purchase raffle tickets, bid on silent auction items, or win.


Here's how it works:


ACCESSING THE SITE

Click this link to get to our webpage. Once you click on the link, you will be prompted to "sign in". Enter your email address, your phone number, then your first and last name. Once you are in, you should see the event homepage.


SILENT AUCTION

Silent auction items are located under the "Silent Auction" tab. You can bid on any of the items today through Saturday, March 9th at 10:00pm. Make sure you keep an eye on the items you want so you don't get outbid!


RAFFLE

Raffle items are located under the "Raffle" tab if you're on the computer and the "Shop" tab if you're on a mobile device. Click on the item you want, and put your name on 1 ticket for $50, 3 tickets for $100 or 8 tickets for $200. The tickets you purchase will go toward the item you selected. If you want to be in the drawing for multiple items, you will need to follow these instructions for each item.


Winners of both silent auction and raffle items will be selected and notified on Friday, March 9th at 10:00pm.


If you have already registered to attend Boots and Ball Gowns, you may have received a text message from the One Cause platform-- you will continue receiving messages until the silent auction and raffle are over on Saturday night.


Happy Bidding and Good Luck!

Our BabyMobiles are breaking records!

In the month of February, Infant Crisis Services served 2,575 infants and toddlers. 1,196 of these little ones were served through our BabyMobiles. This is the most clients our BabyMobiles have ever served in one month. Thank you to our amazing BabyMobile team for their hard work and for showing up every day ready to load the buses and distribute goods across the state.

This is a week of celebration, and we have so much to celebrate and appreciate. Thank you for cheering us on through it all.



Always for the babies,

Miki
