Whoo Hoo!! Party Time!

Wow! Can you believe that we kicked off our organization officially?!?!

Selfless Hands Foundation had its official launch party on Saturday, June 29th at Dunlap Codding in Oklahoma City. The venue looked amazing and was perfect for the event. The guests enjoyed wine and amazing food catered by Meals By Mel, owned by Melissa Alakayi.

At the beginning of the event, the guests were able to network and check out the silent auction table, which consisted of amazing items from local Black-owned businesses in Oklahoma. We are appreciative of the items we received from Jeanee Canada, Elevated Financial Services, Back 2 My Roots, Inspired Nail Bar, Black Fruit International, Sage and Elm Apothecary, BeYou Nutrifit and Skin Food Bath and Body Shop.

We enjoyed good music played by our DJ of the night, DJ Chief Tr3 (Londell Futrel III). Our entertainment consisted of an amazing musician, Sidney Carter; comedian, Damon Detroit; poet, Darrian Blanchard; and poet, Aczavius Smith, led the champagne toast following his poem. Ward 7 Councilwoman Nikki Nice gave an encouraging speech and expressed her support for the organization.

Throughout the program, the board members introduced themselves and spoke on different aspects of Selfless Hands Foundation. The most exciting aspect was the launch of our #EastsideEmbedded fundraising campaign. We are raising $10,000 to begin our process of establishing our first donation center in Northeast Oklahoma City. We are excited!

We are truly appreciative of the support and love we have received from everyone! We will make you all proud!

The Marathon Continues.
