Tulsa 66ers News Release
TULSA, Okla., December 13, 2005 - The Tulsa 66ers players, coaches, dancers and front office staff will sort Angel Tree donations at the Salvation Army located at 7201 E 38th St. on Wednesday, Dec. 15 beginning at 2 p.m. Along with head coach Joey Meyer, 66ers staff will organize thousands of presents donated by local residents for The Salvation Army's annual Angel Tree program. The Angel Tree program, sponsored by Channel 6 KOTV, K-95 FM and Simon Properties, opened in mid-November and closes on December 24.
The program offers holiday shoppers the opportunity to purchase gifts for children, disabled adults and/or senior citizens. Shoppers are encouraged to select a Christmas tag from the Angel Tree and donate the gift indicated on the tag to The Salvation Army. Shoppers who participate in the program agree to purchase at least $25 worth of Christmas gifts for each person adopted. Unwrapped gifts are returned to the Woodland Hills Mall booth and The Salvation Army distributes them at the Christmas Center.
Tulsa 66ers players, coaches, dancers and front office staff members will be on hand from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. to assist The Salvation Army in the Angel Tree program and other various volunteer projects as well.
"This is a great opportunity for the Tulsa 66ers to give back to the community that supports the team. We hope others will join us in helping their neighbors this holiday season," said Tulsa 66ers president Joe Berry.
"You always put points on the board when you help those who don't have the means to help themselves," said Brad Borror, Public Relations Director for The Tulsa Salvation Army.
