Charities

Each year we hold an annual campaign to raise money for the United Way which has a remarkable and effective approach to fulfilling human needs. It has the voluntary support of people from all walks of life who allocate contributed dollars to more than 70 human care agencies. One year, Webco was selected as a United Way Trailblazing company that helped lead the way as a shining example for that year's Tulsa Area United Way Campaign. Without a doubt, the United Way is one of the best ways to provide help where help is needed most. Our employees especially like the fact that the money they donate goes to help the people in our community.

Since 1997, the Little Light House (LLH) has been Webco's Corporate Charity. This organization has been helping special needs children in the Tulsa area for over 25 years, and was designated as one of the "1,000 Points of Lights" by President Bush. LLH is a Christian developmental center for children with disabilities. The need is so great for this type of center that they have a two year waiting list for their services. One of the most amazing things about LLH is that they provide their services tuition free without funding from any government agency - it is funded entirely by private donations.

Webco's employees contribute to these private donations in a variety of ways. We hold an annual campaign to raise money for LLH where employees elect to payroll deduct private contribution throughout the year. We participate in Mini Laps and Laps for Little Ones, LLH's major fund raising campaigns for the year which consist of getting donations for the number of Laps walked. Additionally we have donated proceeds from an employee baseball group outing. In 1999, we donated box seats for a night at the Tulsa Drillers ballpark for some of the LLH families to enjoy. It always warms our hearts to know that our donations are helping to improve the life of a child.
