First Victims of the Season
On Tuesday May 16th, an estimated EF2 tornado ripped through the town of Elk City, Oklahoma destroying dozens of homes and caused wide spread destruction. Unfortunately, 2 horses were injured during the storm and are now receiving treatment at the OSU Veterinary Medical Hospital. Because of your gifts to this fund, the cost of hospitalization, diagnostic evaluation, and medical and surgical treatment will be completely covered.
Oklahoma weather is very unpredictable and again today we are facing a high chance of severe weather. Please help us build this fund by sharing the project and asking for support from others. Every gift counts.
Help Us Save Lives!
Thank you to all of our wonderful donors who gave during our first annual university-wide Give Orange campaign. The Give Orange campaign helped us kick off our PhilanthroPete project to continue raising funds for this great cause and because of your generous contributions we are 29% of our way towards our $6,500 goal.
But we still need your help!
Please partner with us! Maximize our impact by sharing this project with all your friends and family by clicking the share button on the homepage. You can share to Facebook, Twitter or Email to educate other of the impact they can have on the lives of storm victims.
