OEC Foundation board grants<br />
$24,448 to 7 agencies, 12 families<br />
Every year in <strong>May</strong>, Special Olympics athletes from around the state<br />
head to Stillwater for the Summer Games. OEC members, through their<br />
participation in Operation Round Up®, make it financially possible for the<br />
athletes from our area to compete.<br />
“Special Olympics improves the lives of people with intellectual<br />
disabilities by allowing them to realize their full potential,” said Vivian<br />
Gibson, president of the OEC Foundation board. “The lessons learned<br />
through sports translate into new competence and success in school, in the<br />
workplace and in our communities.”<br />
The most recent OEC Foundation grant to support Special Olympics<br />
athletes was awarded in April, when the OEC Foundation board awarded<br />
$3,000 to those who oversee the participants from Grady County. The<br />
money will provide equipment and uniforms for the athletes as well as help<br />
fund the three-day trip to Stillwater.<br />
Collectively, the board, which oversees the contributions from OEC<br />
members to Operation Round Up, awarded 19 grants totaling $24,448 during<br />
its April 6 meeting. The following organizations received grants:<br />
Amber Police Department, equipment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $3,000<br />

Additionally, grants were awarded to 12 low-income families living in<br />
the OEC service area to pay for emergency home repairs and to purchase<br />
medical and nutritional supplies, dentures and glasses.<br />
The OEC Foundation board will meet on June 10. Organizational and<br />
individual applications received between now and June 2 will be considered<br />
at that time.
