CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

The Board of Directors of The Christmas Connection’s are pleased to announce that the capital campaign launched in fall 2008 is now in Phase II.  We have just $250,000 remaining of our original $1.5 million goal.  We are enjoying our new building at 5728 S. May Avenue and invite you to stop by to see this wonderful new facility.  Since moving to the new store in August 2009, we have been able to expand our programs and services to meet the needs of low income families in the greater Oklahoma City metro area.  

Thank you to the donors who have brought us to this point!  Opportunities are still available for pledges and one time gifts as well as naming rights to some departments.  Contact us for more information on how you can help The Christmas Connection wrap up our Capital Campaign.
