From our very youngest moments, we are taught
that we can accomplish so much more when we work together.
At the Tulsa Area United Way we have been enthu-siastic believers in work-ing together for 90 years and it served us well in 2014.
The community came together for another re-cord-breaking campaign last year, raising a total of $26,602,884. That’s $402,884 above our orig-inal goal of $26,200,000. That support will have an enormous impact when it is reinvested in the com-munity, helping individ-uals and families achieve their full potential.
Because you gave above and beyond, the Tulsa Area United Way will be able to continue its work as an intentional commu-nity builder through our partner agency network,
community-wide collab-orations and the new, ex-citing Social Innovation Grant program. Working together, we have an opportunity to make a tremendous communi-ty-wide impact through A Way Home for Tulsa, Tul-sa Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy and Im-pact! Tulsa, among other exciting new initiatives. Launched in 2014, the Social Innovation Grant program is breaking the old rules when it comes to addressing social chal-lenges. This program will award hundreds of thousands of dollars to individuals and non-profit organizations developing creative ways to confront and reverse stubborn so-cial challenges.
Whether you gave to the United Way through pay-roll deduction at work, volunteered at a partner agency, participated in the
Day of Caring, or served as your company’s Employee Campaign Coordinator, you played an important role in the campaign.
A cooperative, collective approach to philanthropy is a concept that works as so many of you are willing to ensure that your neigh-bors, co-workers, friends and family have the tools they need to succeed. We couldn’t do it without you. When each gives what he or she can, and when we work together, the results are life-changing, and in fact, world-changing.

Our VisionThe Tulsa Area United Way envisions a community where all individuals and families achieve their full human potential.
Our MissionThe Tulsa Area United Way unites people and resourc-es to improve lives and build a stronger community.
What Makes Us Unique?The Tulsa Area United Way is the heartbeat of our community, bringing people and resources to bear on our most pressing social issues. We are the only non-profit organization in the six-county area funding 60 partner agencies whose critical services deliver the three building blocks to a better life: Education, Fi-nancial Stability, and Health/Safety. By focusing on these essential building blocks, community volunteers, along with the United Way, help identify urgent com-munity needs and ensure that all donations are wisely invested to meet the highest identified necessities. The funds target community initiatives and help sustain our 60 partner agencies in providing services for citizens of every age and circumstance, through all stages of their lifetimes from prenatal to end-of-life.

All contributions have a direct and profound impact on improving the lives of people you know – living in your neighborhood, attending your children’s school, working alongside you every day.
In addition to meeting the needs of our community, these combined donations also create a significant economic return on investment in this six-county area. A recent research study shows that our United Way is truly an economic engine for this community:
• For every dollar given, our partner agencies leveraged an additional $11.30 from other resources
• Our investment in partner agencies directly and indirectly supported 5,760 jobs
• Annual economic impact was $285,544,318
The economic and social impact of the Tulsa Area United Way is far-reaching. This is why our United Way exists: to improve lives and build a stronger com-munity by bringing citizens together to give, advocate and volunteer.
The Tulsa Area United Way Economic Impact Study was completed in December 2012 by the Community Service Council with assistance from the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University.

Meet the Future President of the United StatesNine-year-old Annie Cramton believes she can become Presi-dent of the United States.
After getting to know Annie during the 2014 campaign, many United Way supporters do not doubt her assertion.
At the end of last year’s cam-paign video, Annie famously stat-ed, “I believe I can do anything now – even become President of the United States.”
“That belief is the result of a smart and determined little girl,
strong parenting and community support of her determination,” said Mark R. Graham, President and CEO of the Tulsa Area Unit-ed Way.
Annie was one of three United Way “ambassadors” in 2014, joining Emeka Nnaka and Chris-tina Ramsey, who spoke at com-pany kickoff events during the 2014 campaign. The trio also was featured in United Way branding, including all collateral materials.
“They really became the heart and soul of the campaign and
contributed mightily to its suc-cess,” Graham said.
All three received assistance from multiple United Way part-ner agencies.
Annie received a scholarship to become a Girl Scout when her parents were unable to meet the costs associated with member-ship, travel and uniforms.
“She wouldn’t have had the op-portunity to gain the leadership skills and confidence as a Girl Scout without the help of the
United Way,” says her mother, Lori Cramton.
Annie was an eloquent ambassa-dor for the Girl Scouts as well as the United Way campaign, Gra-ham said.
“It’s hard to believe she’s only nine years old,” he stated. “I be-lieve we’re looking at a future community leader.”

Beating the OddsChristina Ramsey never had an opportunity to develop self-es-teem in the foster care system.
At a young age, she was abused by a family member and placed in foster care. She waited un-til age 12 to be adopted, only to experience another abusive situ-ation.
Her difficult journey took her from Atoka, Oklahoma to Sapul-
pa to Arkansas, where she gradu-ated from high school.
A few years ago, she moved to Sand Springs, where she is rais-ing two sons on her own, Christo-pher, 4, and Cayden, 2.
Then she discovered an opportu-nity to improve their lives through the Community Action Project of Tulsa County (CAP Tulsa), a United Way partner agency.
“They provided me with counsel-ing, child care and a chance to go back to school,” Christina said.
CAP Tulsa helped steer her to-ward the Career Advance EPP College Bound program through Tulsa Technology Center. Today Christina is preparing to take the pharmacy technician certification exam, and is pursuing an associ-ate degree in radiology at Tulsa Community College.
“I never thought I’d be in col-lege,” she says. “Now I have the chance to earn a good living, and serve as a role model for my sons.
“I am so proud of who I have be-come. It’s never too late to gain self-esteem and a better life.”

When Life Changes in a MomentEmeka Nnaka’s life changed in an instant when making a tackle as a defensive end for the Okla-homa Thunder semi-profession-al football team.
The 21-year-old Oral Roberts University student was playing for the team in a game at Fay-etteville, Ark., when he sus-tained a spinal cord injury.
“I just lay there, not able to move,” Emeka recalled. “I felt a tingling sensation throughout my body, kind of like when you hit your funny bone.”
Emeka was taken to a hospital in Fayetteville, where he under-went nine hours of neck surgery.
When he woke up, he couldn’t move anything from the chest down. But after several months of intensive physical therapy, he slowly regained use of his arms, began to move his neck and learned to feed himself.
He received a wheelchair, lift and hospital bed from Ability Resources, a United Way partner agency.
Now 26, Emeka still works out daily at The Center for Individ-uals with Physical Challenges, also a United Way agency.
“I gained more independence af-ter going through The Center’s two-month transition program than any other therapy I’ve had,” he said.
Emeka went on to attend Tulsa Community College and will earn a bachelor’s degree in re-habilitation counseling from Langston University in May.
He plans to pursue a master’s de-gree, open his own rehabilitation and counseling clinic, and pur-sue a career as a life coach and professional speaker.
One might suspect Emeka never experienced a moment of self-pity.
“Sometimes I’ll dream that I’m running and playing football, then I wake up. But I really nev-er get depressed. My faith has served as a guide.”

Women’s Leadership CouncilThe Women’s Leadership Council unites women into a powerful network of indi-viduals. WLC focuses on developing new leadership for the community through encouragement of intergenerational interaction and mentoring. The Tulsa chapter is more than 1,500 members strong, and is one of 120 Women’s Leadership Councils across the U.S., representing more than 50,000 women. Members may participate in monthly tours of local United Way agencies, an innovative mentor-protégé pro-gram, and a wide variety of community enrichment projects. The Hardesty Family Foundation and the Hille Foundation provided Challenge Grants for new and in-creased leadership gifts from WLC members in 2014.
Emerging Leaders Society The goal of the Emerging Leaders Society is to prepare the next generation of lead-ers and philanthropists. Membership is open to young professionals in their 20s, 30s and 40s, at various levels of support. Members at the highest level of support will be paired with mentors who share their goals and interests and who are members of the United Way’s Alexis de Tocqueville Society. Members at all levels have the opportunity to develop their leadership skills, learn more about philanthropy and participate in a wide variety of community enrichment projects. The Lobeck Taylor Family Foundation and Sherman E. Smith Family Foundation provided Challenge Grants that matched all new and increased contributions by members of the Emerg-ing Leaders Society in 2014.
Community CollaborationsThe Tulsa Area United Way’s Community Collaborations initiative fosters cooper-ation among local non-profit organizations to meet specific community challeng-es. Collaborations must respond to systemic community needs that cannot be ade-quately addressed by a single organization, obtain support of multiple community funders, demonstrate a planned approach to serving a defined population with mea-surable outcomes, identify an administrative structure for accountability, and ensure an adequate budget for the full term of a project.
Social Innovation GrantsSometimes you have to break the old rules to find what works. That’s the philoso-phy behind the new Social Innovation Grant Program at the Tulsa Area United Way. The United Way recently announced its new funding program that awarded more than $300,000 to individuals and non-profit organizations presenting creative ways to address community issues. The presentations were made during “pitch nights” in which individuals and organizations were allotted five and 10 minutes respectively to pitch their ideas to a panel of volunteers. As a result, Social Innovation Grants were awarded to several individuals and nonprofit organizations with new ideas that promise a big impact. Funded projects include one of the nation’s first health clinics for homeless and at-risk youth, a mobile lab that will provide a STEM education to underserved schools, and debate teams in underserved high schools.

The 2014 Tulsa Area United Way campaign can be viewed in
terms of numbers – a record $26,602,884 raised, $402,884 beyond our goal, and 48,000 individual contributors.
But it also can be viewed in terms of people. As a scientist and educator, I tend to get energized by research, data and num-ber-crunching. But my heart belongs with the families whose lives will be improved by our high-ly successful campaign.
Who could forget nine-year-old Annie Cramton? Her parents could not af-ford for her to become a Girl Scout. But a schol-arship unleashed Annie’s drive – and generosity. She became a top cookie sales agent, and donated tip money to her neigh-borhood fire station. I have no doubt Annie will someday become, as she famously stated, “Presi-dent of the United States.”
Christina Ramsey demon-strated to all of us that the cycle of poverty can be broken. Physically abused and shuttled between foster homes, Christi-na managed to graduate from high school, and is
raising two toddlers by herself. Today she’s well on her way to earning a bachelor’s degree in radi-ography. Soon, she will have the means to nur-ture her children in a sol-idly middle class envi-ronment. No telling what those boys will achieve.
And finally, who wasn’t inspired by Emeka Nna-ka? Disabled and con-fined to a wheelchair after a football injury, Emeka is a full-time student at Langston University. But even with a rigorous class schedule, Emeka man-aged to give more than 50 presentations to em-ployee groups during the campaign. He joined me at several of these presen-tations and I was happy for him to steal the show – and the hearts of those listening. Emeka became one of the faces of the campaign, a local celeb-rity, and our dear friend.
Annie, Christina, and Emeka, how can we ever thank you? You with-stood boring speeches, photo shoots and lots of attention – on an entirely volunteer basis. You kept us going, inspired us, and made our job of surpass-ing the goal an easy one.
I’d also like to thank the 11 trailblazing compa-nies and organizations that provided momentum for the campaign, and the generous foundations and corporations issuing challenge grants, in many cases providing one-to-one matches for individu-al contributions.
Finally, 20 loaned exec-utives and 45 members of the Campaign Cabi-net conducted the heavy lifting of the campaign – cultivating new cam-paigns, making countless presentations and educat-ing the public about the importance of the United Way and its partner agen-cies.
I look forward to serving as the Chair of your Board of Directors and support-ing Ted Haynes, our 2015 Campaign Chair, as he continues the Tulsa area’s great tradition of generos-ity and investment in the community. Sincerely,
Dr. Gerry Clancy2014 Campaign Chair2015 Chair, Board ofDirectors

Remembering Mr. Henry
Henry Zarrow, “Mr. Henry,” as he was affectionate-ly known, will forever be remembered as one of our city’s most influential and caring philanthropists.
In 2014, the Tulsa Area United Way was proud to of-fer the Henry Zarrow Community Leadership Giving Challenge, generously issued by the Anne and Hen-ry Zarrow Foundation, matching new and increased contributions of those giving at the Leadership Level ($500 or more annually.)
However, this giving challenge was only the most re-cent example of Mr. Henry’s life-long commitment to our local United Way.
Mr. Henry was a native Tulsan. His parents immigrat-ed to the US from Latvia (Russia) and made their way to Tulsa in 1916.
Mr. Henry started to work in the family’s grocery business at the age of six. When he was 13, he opened his own grocery store, and in his early twenties he began learning the used pipe business. He founded Sooner Pipe and Iron at age 22, which later became Sooner Pipe and Supply, an oil field equipment com-pany. Mr. Henry’s father joined him in the business and Mr. Henry’s younger brother, Mr. Jack Zarrow, joined the company after he finished college.
With success came acquisitions of other companies, including Big Heart Pipeline and its subsidiaries. The Zarrows then expanded business interests to Canada, Scotland, Singapore and Nigeria. Sooner Pipe and Supply was sold in 1998 when Mr. Henry was 82 years young.
Mr. Henry and Anne have a son and daughter, Stuart Zarrow and Judy Kishner, seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Mrs. Zarrow died in 2000 from Alzheimer’s disease. Mr. Zarrow died in 2014.
He was a dear friend and supporter of the Tulsa Area United Way and we miss him dearly.
Mr. Henry Zarrow

Celebrating 90 YearsThe Tulsa Area United Way was founded in 1924 as the Tulsa Community Fund by a group of local businessmen. Chartering the Fund were 11 health and human service orga-nizations. Their inaugural cam-paign lasted only five days and the very first goal of $238,895 was exceeded by $9,000.
Despite the difficulties and chal-lenges of the Depression and World War II, the Tulsa Com-munity Fund continued to meet the increasing needs of area res-idents through its annual cam-paigns.
During World War II, the Fund combined with the National War Fund and United War Chest of
Oklahoma to raise money to sup-port 22 local agencies, as well as 22 organizations designed for in-ternational relief. The organiza-tion’s name was changed to Tul-sa War Chest during this period.
After the war, the Tulsa War Chest became the Tulsa Com-munity Chest to reflect a broader mission.
The most recent name change came in 1974 when the current Tulsa Area United Way was in-troduced.
Since 1924, TAUW has raised and invested more than $696 million to assist the lives of peo-ple in need in Creek, Okmulgee, Osage, Rogers, Wagoner and Tulsa counties.
