Doing good things for those affected by the Oklahoma tornado


With the deadly and distractive tornado that ripped through Oklahoma on 05/20/2013, Hollywood, Universities and other people and groups are stepping forward to help raise funds for the families affected by the tornado.

First up is Kristin Chenoweth (star of Deck the Halls), who is a native of Oklahoma, is selling special T-shirts from the charity "Lending a Helping Paw" for $25 through her own animal charity "Maddie's Corner."  Her goal is to sell 1,000 T-shirts which should allow her to donate $17,500.  As an added bonus, an anonymous donor will match $25 for each T-shirt sold.  As of 05/24/2013, $3,500 has been raised with an additional $5,800.  Maddie's Corner doesn't indicate which disaster relief these funds are going to, but I'll assume she allocating these funds to an organization with boots on the group which can give immediate relief.

You can see the red T-shirt shown below.


Next, we have three Oklahoma universities banding together to raise funds for tornado relief by selling T-shirts.  University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, and the University of Tulsa.  The T-shirts will be produced by Box Seat Clothing Company, but will only be available through the respective university's online stores.  

That's an excellent combined effort.  See dark colored shirt sporting the logos for each university.


My prayers go out those impacts by the tornado in Oklahoma.

Do good things.
