Sapulpa Public Schools kicks off United Way campaign
Posted on 10/04/2021
(SPS) -- Sapulpa Public Schools is once again hoping to break its fundraising records for the Tulsa Area United Way, in order to help agencies that serve Sapulpa children and families.

This year's campaign kicked off October 4 and will continue through the end of the month.

Last year, the Tulsa Area United Way served more than half a million people in the six-county region which includes residents of Sapulpa.
  • 382 students in the Sapulpa area received counseling from Youth Services of Creek County
  • More than 3,840 people received assistance from The Salvation Army Creek County Boys & Girls Club
  • Over 4,000 families received emergency services and basic needs from Caring Community Friends
The partnership with Caring Community Friends allowed Sapulpa Public Schools to build a Mobile Book Bus, which provides children in the community with food and books during the summer months. The Mobile Book Bus will enter its third year of operations in the summer of 2022.

Sapulpa Public Schools has historically raised tens of thousands for the Tulsa Area United Way, helping the non-profit organization to surpass its fundraising goals for its partner agencies.

SPS earned the Green Country Business Award in 2020, awarded to a company that increases the size of its campaign year over year.
