WHO WE ARE

Building Blocks

The Tulsa Area United Way works to advance the common good by focusing on the three building blocks of a better quality of life - education, health/ safety and financial stability. We recruit people and organizations from across the community who bring the passion, expertise and resources needed to get things done, and we invite you to join us.

The Tulsa Area United Way unites people and resources to improve lives and strengthen our communities.

Education A fundamental building block to a better life. That’s why TAUW and our 59 partner agencies support lifelong learning from the youngest members of our community to our most senior citizens through educational information, training or counseling. We ensure that children get a strong start in life by helping them achieve crucial development milestones and start school ready to succeed.

We LIVE UNITED by strengthening our community through collaboration and compassion; embracing opportunities in a changing environment; serving as exceptional stewards of community resources with the highest ethics, transparency, and integrity; solving problems with innovation, energy, and belief in a better future; and advocating respect to create inclusive communities.

PALMER’S NEW VISION DRUG SCHOOL for Tulsa Public Schools provided drug and alcohol education and counseling to 16 public schools, providing students more time to attend classes without traveling off-site for services.

At TSHA, Inc.,165 deaf consumers received intensive one-on-one guidance in sign language, making it possible for them to successfully achieve their personal and professional goals and develop new skills.

HEALTH & SAFETY FINANCIAL STABILITY Through the services of our partner agencies, thousands of Tulsa area residents have been placed in jobs, pulled themselves out of debt, have been able to put food on their tables or stay in their homes thanks to your contributions. We give people the resources and opportunities they need to build a stronger financial foundation for themselves and their families.

GOODWILL INDUSTRIES filled 825 jobs in the region, resulting in $8.7 million in earned wages and an economic impact of $47 million.

4 SUPERHEROES OF 2020

Williams Summit Leadership Williams For the 31st consecutive year, Williams successfully raised more than one million dollars and surpassed their 2019 total by 16%. Their Volunteer Campaign Committee focused their energies on employee education, and with the help of their Leadership Team, surpassed 2019 employee pledges with a staggering increase in participation. This is their largest campaign in five years, especially impressive during a pandemic. Williams is a leader in the community and we appreciate all the ways they support Tulsa Area United Way and make the community a better place to work and live.

Leadership Giving Tulsa New Holland Tulsa New Holland has shown a steady 10% increase every year for at least seven years, due in large part to their incredible commitment to Tulsa Area United Way. Volunteer Coordinators incentivized Leadership Giving with personal home-baked goods, and Executive Leadership increased their support to meet the company’s goal for the Tulsa New Holland 2020 Campaign.

Mid-size Business Omni Air International Omni Air International has been a long-time leader in our Aerospace Division. Their 2020 Campaign followed all the Steps to a Successful Campaign with fun traditions and engagement opportunities that resulted in an incredible participation rate of 90%. A dollar-for-dollar company match, Campaign Cabinet and Coordinator Volunteerism, strong affinity group participation, Day of Caring and even a special company-wide Food Drive ensured employees had a variety of options to give back to their community through an investment of their time and money.

Small Business Neosource An exemplary company culture of service and strong support of Tulsa Area United Way defines Neosource’s commitment to helping people improve their lives. The 2020 Neosource Campaign featured amazing participation, with a 14% overall increase and a 44% increase in Leadership Giving. Their commitment to volunteerism through Day of Caring project engagement year in and year out is a testament to their dedication to our Greater Tulsa community.

SUPERHEROES OF 2020 5

Green Country Business Consolidated Turbine Specialists The pandemic-challenged economy and recent sale of the company to a national defense contractor didn’t sway the leadership and company’s commitment to its community and Tulsa Area United Way. With support and encouragement from its long-time president and internal committee, Consolidated Turbine increased their total giving and continues to be actively involved in Bristow.

Illuminate Family & Children’s Services Family & Children’s Services exemplified a 2020 Campaign United in Hope in a year where service delivery and business operations were anything but clear. In the final days of the campaign, the F&CS team rallied to match their 5% employee giving increase and illuminate another successful Campaign.

Bristow Social Services Bristow Social Services is a leader of hope in the Bristow community and a beloved agency. Despite a dramatic increase in community needs driven by the pandemic, the agency held a solid campaign led by its dynamic executive director. Employees increased giving by 15% and demonstrated 100% participation by its Board of Directors.

Ignite Asemio Asemio truly “ignited” the 2020 United Way Campaign. Not only did they run their first ever campaign in June 2020, they also kicked off the first ever virtual campaign in Tulsa Area United Way history. In the process, Asemio showed great commitment to the United Way with 75% of givers giving at the Leadership Level and in addition, provide a corporate gift.

Thank You, Asemio, for “igniting” the 2020 United Way campaign.

Momentum Laredo Petroleum Laredo continued to raise the bar this year with a 64% increase from their 2019 Campaign total! Led by the inspiration of Executive Leadership and Volunteer Coordinators, employees found multiple opportunities of community campaign engagement and provided a dollar-for-dollar company match. Lardeo Petroleum is a paragon of a great new culture of leadership in Tulsa and a valued community partner.

6 SUPERHEROES OF 2020

Innovator Tulsa Community College Tulsa Community College ran the model 2020 Campaign and set the standard for what a virtual campaign could look like moving forward.

Participation on our Campaign Cabinet and a well-established Volunteer Campaign Committee organized engaging and HOPEFUL opportunities such as master classes, video game tournaments, 5K fun runs, online auctions, and their very own Pack the Pantry Food Drive for Day of Caring. In a year of extreme uncertainties in serving their TCC Community, their campaign boasted tremendous success and character, one starfish at a time!

Price Family Properties Price Family Properties approached Tulsa Area United Way with a pivotal and transformative idea this year to donate $100 per person for up to 1,000 people who would visit downtown Tulsa and pass through the balloon arch at 6th and Main. The idea behind the event was to support their 2020 Campaign efforts and give people a way to safely social distance and support downtown businesses during a pandemic.

We worked closely with their team to put on a wildly successful event! In addition to this innovative event, Price Family Properties successfully ran their traditional Campaign in which employee pledging increased by nearly 9%.

Community Spirit Saint Francis Health System In a year where hospital staff, doctors, nurses, and faculty were already overworked, the team at Saint Francis stepped up for their community. Taking time to participate in a United Way campaign while faced with so many challenges truly exhibits compassion and care for their community. Already a top campaign each year, Saint Francis rallied a 40% increase in their special event giving and increased their overall giving by 13%. We cannot say how thankful and grateful we are for our continued partnership with Saint Francis Health System.

2020

WOMEN UNITED CLYDELLA HENTSCHEL AWARD Caron Lawhorn Caron Lawhorn is the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at ONE Gas. As the 2020 Tulsa Area United Way Campaign Chair, Caron led the historic 2020 campaign with inspiring tenacity, and we look forward to her continued leadership as the 2021 Tulsa Area United Way board chair.

Inspired by her visits to the 59 Tulsa Area United Way partner agencies, Caron boldly asked fellow community members and leaders to join her in improving lives and strengthening Tulsa communities.

She recruited and filled all seats on her campaign cabinet, spoke with many organizations and individuals about supporting the campaign, and even got slimed!

No challenge was too daunting, and Caron helped develop strategies to navigate and adapt to the new virtual environment. Leading by example and despite the tough economic conditions, Caron helped rally the team at ONE Gas for a record-breaking year, raising $1 million for the community.

Caron is a previous Women United chair and remains involved as a member of the newly formed Advisory Council. She is also on the board of directors for AAON and serves on the board of regents of Tulsa Community College, the American Gas Association’s Finance Committee and is past chair of the board of directors of the Southern Gas Association. She is a graduate of Leadership Oklahoma Class 21 and Leadership Tulsa Class 32.

2020

EMERGING LEADERS SOCIETY VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR AWARD MACY JOHNSON Macy Johnson is the Vice President and Manager of Talent Development at Bank of Oklahoma.

Macy currently serves as the 2020 Emerging Leaders Society Chair (ELS), and is returning as the 2021 chair to see her innovative volunteerism initiatives come to life. Macy also served as the ELS Vice Chair in 2019.

Macy was instrumental in developing the ELS signature event, Time for a Cause which will generate volunteers for Tulsa Area United Way partner agencies through mentorship incentives. She also sparked the initiative to gather hundreds of tech accessories to help students succeed in distance learning environments.

As the ELS Chair, Macy has strategically formed her committees to broadly represent corporate partners, big and small, and designed these committees to be efficient and respectful of volunteers’ time, while maximizing their engagement.

Macy is on the steering committee of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Oklahoma and is a Big Sister mentor. She also serves on the board of directors for The Risk Management Association and has served on Tulsa Area United Way community investment panels for three years.
