Power in Purposeful Giving
This summer, we launched the inaugural Jewish Tulsa Pet Campaign, which reminded us how love for our furry (and feathery!) family members can unite a community.
More than just a collection of adorable photos featured on the front cover of the magazine, it was a heartfelt celebration of the love we share with our pets and the power of purposeful giving.
We received some great photos of playful pups and laid-back cats—and every submission told a story. Each $72 donation honored a beloved pet while supporting the meaningful work of the Federation, and the response was pawsitively purr-fect!
