Magic Johnson contributes to record
fundraising at Champions of Health Gala
More than 500 people attended the ninth
annual Champions of Health Gala, which was
held Oct. 8th at the National Cowboy Hall
of Fame and Western Heritage Museum in
Oklahoma City. A record $204,000 was raised
through event sponsorships, auctions and ticket
purchases to support the Oklahoma Caring
Foundation. The gala is designed to recognize
individuals and organizations that are working
to improve health in Oklahoma. It also serves
as the Foundation’s premier annual fundraiser.

Partner Spotlight:
Latino Community
Development Agency
The Latino Community Development
Agency (LCDA) works toward its
mission of enhancing the quality of life in
Latino communities through education,
leadership, services and advocacy. With
one in five births being Latino, LCDA is
critical to service delivery to a large
population of families in central Oklahoma,
including underserved children eligible to
receive immunizations aboard a Caring Van.
The partnership between LCDA and the
Oklahoma City Caring Van program began
in July 2001, in the heart of Oklahoma City’s
predominantly Latino neighborhood.
Through community outreach and
announcements on local Spanish radio
stations, families have been able to count
on the Caring Van being in their
neighborhood the same time each month.
More than 2,500 children have received a
total of nearly 6,500 immunizations through
the Caring Van’s partnership with LCDA.

New Caring Van hit the road in southeast Oklahoma
Oklahoma’s fifth Caring Van began
serving communities in southeastern
Oklahoma in April with a kickoff in
the Talihina community. Operating in
partnership with Choctaw Nation Health
Services, the van traveled across seven
counties providing immunizations and
additional preventive health services.
After many years of providing Caring Van
services in rural communities, the Choctaw
Nation van represents a new model in which
a partnering organization can operate the
van each day of the week, without relying on
Foundation staff to drive from Oklahoma
City and Tulsa. This arrangement has
worked very well, with 46 clinics conducted
in the fall of 2012 alone.
“Because we work in such a rural
area, the schools and parents appreciate
the convenience of having this service
provided,” said Kelly Adams, lead Choctaw
Nation Caring Van nurse. “We like knowing
that the risk of a child acquiring a vaccine
preventable disease lessens with every
immunization administered.”
The Choctaw Nation Caring Van primarily
serves schools, and the success of the new
van is evident, with more than 1,700 children
receiving immunizations in a four month
period. Other services were provided to
an additional 1,750 individuals including
adult immunizations and head lice checks
for children. Plans are underway to engage
additional schools and Head Start locations
to coordinate a preventive dental health
component in 2013.
Caring Van milestones celebrated in 2012
The Caring Vans produced record results in
2012, immunizing nearly 16,000 children
with more than 25,000 vaccines at 729 clinics
statewide. The addition of a fifth Caring Van
increased the programs geographic reach and
helped improve partnerships in communities
historically served by the vans. On Aug. 27,
Oklahoma Caring Foundation staff joined
partners and funders to celebrate the 100,000th
child immunized aboard a Caring Van. The
celebration took place at Emergency Infant
Services in Tulsa, an organization filling the
needs of the most vulnerable young children in
the community, which is also a service partner
of the Caring Van program.
“Our program targets children in low-income
and underserved areas, so it’s especially
exciting to know that these 100,000 children
represent kids who may not have otherwise
received immunizations,” said Ted Haynes,
Board Chairman of the Oklahoma Caring
Foundation.

This milestone followed the recognition of the
200,000th immunization administered aboard
the Caring Vans during the summer. Work
continues to implement both geographic and
program expansion within the Caring Van
program, setting the stage for another very
busy year in 2013.

Director Paula Huck said,
“The success of the Caring

Caring Vans protect children against influenza
Influenza made national news in 2012 with
early outbreaks across the country. With
heightened awareness around flu prevention,
the Oklahoma Caring Vans conducted a
large statewide campaign, and provided flu
vaccinations at more than 200 clinics across
Oklahoma during the fall and winter of 2012.
Our Caring Van coordinators focused their
efforts primarily on serving schools, where
children are most likely to be infected with
influenza. Studies show that vaccinations are
imperative for children’s health and readiness to
learn, as it helps decrease school absences. High
rates of flu and flu-like illness even led some
Oklahoma schools to close their doors to protect
children from the spread of the disease.
During the 2012 campaign, the Caring
Vans provided more than 7,000 children with
flu vaccinations, which were administered
for children ages 6 months to 18 years at
schools, child care centers, and community
agencies. The Caring Van program plans to
continue playing an active role in flu vaccine
administration in 2013 by actively working
with the Oklahoma State Department of Health
to coordinate outreach.
Donor Opportunities
As the Oklahoma Caring Foundation continues
to grow, our donors have more opportunities to
support our mission.
In 2012, the Foundation established a charitable
endowment fund at the Oklahoma City
Community Foundation (OCCF). The fund will
provide an avenue for long-term investment in
the health and well-being of future generations
of Oklahoma children, and ensure that the
foundation is always a strong advocate for
preventive health. Donors may also access
OCCF’s expert staff to assist with personal
charitable and financial planning goals.
Our Tribute Gift program allows supporters
to honor the lives of loved ones while creating
a healthier future for Oklahoma children.
Tribute Gifts are ideal for celebrating special
occasions such as birthdays and holidays, as
well as remembering the lives of individuals
who have passed away. Tribute Gift donors may
choose to support foundation operations or the
endowment fund.
For more information on contributing to the
endowment fund or making a Tribute Gift,
contact Ivy Griffey at 918-551-3397 or
ivy_griffey@hcsc.net.
Foundation welcomes new Caring Van specialists
In February, Leslie Knight joined the
Oklahoma City team as a Caring Van specialist.
Leslie works aboard the vans, coordinating
immunization clinics. She recently took
the lead in implementing the new BMI
screening project aboard her van. Leslie brings
several years of experience working with
underserved populations through her work at
the Department of Human Services and the
University of Oklahoma, where she specialized
in coordinating services for children in
foster care.
In December, Jamie Kucinski began work
as a Caring Van specialist in the Tulsa office.

Jamie most recently worked in customer service
at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma
and brings many years of team building and
project leadership experience to the Caring
Van program. He is a dedicated community
volunteer and was recognized as the company’s
Volunteer of the Year for his work with youth
through programs like CASA, Team USA Self
Defense and YMCA.
Please join us in welcoming Leslie and Jamie as they
contribute to the continued success of the Oklahoma
Caring Foundation.

Partner Spotlight:
Laura Dester Shelter
Providing services at locations where children
spend their days has always been part of the
Caring Van operations. That method took on
new meaning in September 2011, when an
observant Caring Van specialist noticed a woman
bringing different groups of children to the health
department each week for immunizations. The
specialist discovered the woman was a registered
nurse at the local Department of Human Services
children’s shelter; All of the children were in
2013 Donor Spotlight
The Oklahoma Caring Foundation’s work
would not be possible without the help
of businesses, philanthropic foundations,
civic organizations and individuals whose
contributions keep our Caring Vans running.
On behalf of the children and families we
serve, we extend our heartfelt thanks to all
who participate in our mission with their
financial support. We would like to take
this opportunity to spotlight two of our
longstanding donors, Bank of Oklahoma
(BOk) and the Inasmuch Foundation.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the
partnership between BOk and the Foundation.
In 2003, BOk provided the opportunity to add
a new Caring Van that would serve the Tulsa
metro area and rural communities across
emergency custody after having been removed
from their homes. Soon thereafter, the Tulsa
Caring Van began services directly to the Laura
Dester Shelter twice each month.
Though immunizations are required for child
care and school entry, the children are often from
homes without the most basic needs. Providing
services in an environment that is familiar to
these fragile children proves to be a very positive
arrangement for shelter staff.
To date, more than 300 children have received
a total of 830 immunizations through the Caring
Van and Laura Dester Shelter.
eastern Oklahoma. Ten years later, the BOk
van is still on the road and has welcomed more
than 28,000 children who have received close
to a total of 50,000 vaccines. BOk continues to
provide generous support for the Oklahoma
Caring Van program. To date, BOk has invested
more than $129,000 in improving the health of
Oklahoma children.
The Inasmuch Foundation has been a part
of the Oklahoma Caring Foundation’s effort to
improve access to preventive health services
since 1996. They have contributed nearly
$70,000 to support the belief that every child
deserves the chance to grow up healthy. The
Inasmuch Foundation of Oklahoma City, is part
of the legacy of Edith Kinney Gaylord. It seeks
to improve the lives of Oklahomans through
investments in education, health and human
services and community enhancement.
