On October 1st, Tulsa Area United Way mobilized thousands of volunteers for an annual Day of Caring. During the community-wide event, more than 2,400 volunteers from over 80 companies and organizations dedicated themselves to performing both in-person and remote community service projects throughout the area. At YST, over 100 volunteers from 8 different companies worked throughout the day making our campus and offsite facilities shine. Thank you to all of the Community Partners who adopted us on this fantastic day.
