The Slater Family served as 2025-2026 chairs for the campaign. Highlights of the United Way’s Campaign came in the form of several pledges, contributions, and donated gifts of stock.
“The Golf Tournament, Pillar’s Dinner, and Chili Cook-off events were once again huge successes, raising funds to help support our 14 partner agencies. Thank you to everyone who donated their time, energy, or money in any way, large or small, or gave words of encouragement. We are truly blessed to have been a part of this campaign and the United Way organization,” Shanda Slater stated.
Funds raised through the United Way of Enid & Northwest Oklahoma’s campaign go to support 14 nonprofit member agencies: Booker T. Washington Community Center, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City, SCOUTING AMERICA Last Frontier Council, Community Development Support Association, Denny Price YMCA, Human Services Alliance of Greater Enid, Garfield County Child Advocacy Council, 4RKIDS, Loaves and Fishes, RSVP of Enid and North Central Oklahoma, Thayne A. Hedges Regional Speech & Hearing Center, The Salvation Army, Youth & Family Services North Central Oklahoma and YWCA of Enid. Funds also support research to identify human service needs throughout Enid & NW Oklahoma communities and help accountable health and human services agencies to meet those needs by improving the health, safety, education, and economic well-being of our most vulnerable citizens.
