Even a Tulsan or two got in on the act…But, it was Sapulpans who made this the organization’s most successful fundraiser since its inception eight years ago. ‘The support we saw from the Sapulpa community this year was wonderful…The response was overwhelming…went from 66 members to 203 in 48 hours…Not only is it great for Main Street and the future of downtown, it also shows that our community realizes how critical it is to preserve the heart of the city…’”
