The Arvest Foundation recently announced a $7,500 contribution to Special Olympics Oklahoma. 

 

The funds will be used to fund the upcoming 2023 Special Olympics by providing general operational support in facilitating outreach and programmatic support through statewide initiatives for over 12,100 athletes. 

 

Arvest commercial banker Jay Dyer presented the check to Malayna Hasmanis, development director of Special Olympics Oklahoma.

 

“It is truly an honor to present this check on behalf of the Arvest Foundation,” said Dyer. “Special Olympics Oklahoma provides an amazing opportunity for these athletes, including those from Bartlesville.”

 

"Special Olympics Oklahoma would not be able to serve our 12,100 athletes statewide if it was not for the generous support of partners, such as the Arvest Foundation,” said Hasmanis. “Ninety cents of every dollar donated goes back to our programs. We are humbled to receive such a generous gift in order to continue to grow our programming and serve more athletes. This has been a fantastic contribution to help us drive our revolution towards inclusion!"
