The Dollar Club gave funds to 111 Project twice in 2023. The first donation allowed them to donate tickets to 52 pastors across the state for the upcoming Christian Alliance for Orphans Summit at Crossings OKC. These donations allowed pastors who may not have been able to afford traveling or summit tickets to attend and take back a wealth of knowledge to their communities.

The second donation supported their Build-a-Bunk project. 111Project partnered with local Oklahoma churches and S.O.U.L. Mission, the University of Oklahoma’s football player development program, to provide 250 bunk beds for children involved in child welfare across the State of Oklahoma. The players prepared 250 bunk beds to be shipped to church partners in every region in Oklahoma. The Dollar Club funds helped to provide mattresses for these bunk beds that churches will be able to use when responding to local requests for beds in their community through 111Project’s CarePortal.
