Operation Bentley Toy Drive 2014
Thank you so much to everyone that helped us participate in the 2014 Operation Bentley Toy
Drive! With your help the organization was able to help over 85 families this Christmas and also
donate some toys to the St. Francis Children’s Hospital.
This was the 4th annual Toy Run. It was started in 2011 by our team member Loren and her
family to honor their late son, Bentley. The organization benefits families in and around the
Cushing Community.
Santa came to our office December 11th to take pictures with everyone and to collect the toys!
Thanks Santa!
