LGF’s First Fundraiser Nets Impressive Turnout and Donations
Friday, July 31, 2009 at 03:30PM Thunderstorms loomed in the distance on Tuesday, July 28, but didn’t discourage attendees to Little Giants Foundation’s first fundraiser. More than 535 parents, kids, couples and teens gathered at CiCi’s Pizza at 91st and Memorial in Tulsa, to take part in the foundation’s efforts to raise awareness of Schimke Immuno-ooseous Dysplasia and meet the star of the night—five-year-old Mitchell Cupps.
Troy Cupps announced that more than $7,000 was raised during the event, which included donations by attendees, the Oklahoma Bulls baseball team and its matching donors, T-shirt sales, and a percent of sales compliments of CiCi’s Pizza and its franchise owner Greg Costly. The restaurant increased its percentage of sales donated from an original 10 percent to 30 percent that night.
The Oklahoma Bulls raised $1,000 for Little Giants Foundation of which individual donors also matched a portion of funds. Individual donors included Dr. Brett B. Dierterlen and Associates, $500; and Bo and Carrie Van Pelt of Mona Vie Tulsa, $1,000.
Mitchell Cupps will join the Oklahoma Bulls on Monday, August 3, at 8 p.m. as this special team battles the Huskies for baseball victory at the All Stars Sports Complex, 61st and Highway 169 in Tulsa.
