be impossible to list everyone, but permit

us to drop a few names who play

absolutely critical roles.

They’re backed by hundreds of

people who submit matching gift

on nonprofit boards.

Does it really make a difference? Well, we

put our programs and approach up to the

scrutiny of the Oklahoma Business Ethics

The 100th anniversary of horrific

events in WPX’s headquarters city

are approaching as Tulsa still works

to heal from a race massacre in 1921

that devastated lives, families and

businesses in the historic

Greenwood neighborhood.

These efforts are being led by the

1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial

Commission and supported by

local foundations, churches, the city,

the state, elected officials and

corporate citizens.

Major projects include creating a walk of

hope through Greenwood, the

development of a museum/history

center and improvements at the existing

Greenwood Cultural Center.

The commission also created a means

for civic groups to have a voice in

retelling stories about tragedies and

triumphs in Greenwood through a public

grants program for events between May

2020 and June 2021 that promote

“reflection, learning and racial healing.”

WPX is underwriting this program

through a $150,000 sponsorship as it

develops a new home office in the

historic downtown neighborhood.

Says WPX CEO Rick Muncrief, “We’re

going to be very thoughtful about the

role we can play in honoring Greenwood

and helping bring people together.”

Ashley Harris Philippsen is the deputy

chief of community development and

policy for the city of Tulsa and a member

of the Centennial Commission.

She said, “It’s important to remember

that commemoration is not celebration.

It’s not a jubilee. Blood was spilled.

We must treat this with the gravity

it deserves.

“Ultimately, if we’re going to transform

a system, it involves rewiring

relationships and aligning our values, so

we want these projects to strengthen

our community.”

program and the commemorations is

Area United Way campaign.Area United Way campaign.

S W E A T E Q U I T Y

There’s a compelling reason that doing

good is often referred to as a labor of

love. Practically speaking, it’s because

there’s a whole lot of actual labor behind

every good deed.

In fact, we attempted to quantify it. So,

we looked at our most exhaustive,

intensive annual effort: our Tulsa Area

United Way campaign.

We started with our leadership

committee, which is comprised entirely

of employees who volunteer to serve.

They sell jeans passes, conduct planning

sessions, organize events, and secure

supplies and prizes.

This 10-person team gave more than

64 hours each in 2019 for an estimated

total of 640 hours. For perspective,

that’s more than a week and a half of

work per person.

Then we looked at how many employees

attend special events and fundraisers,

and the time allotted for each. Here’s a

glimpse of that:

• 97 employees attended the kickoff rally

• 94 employees competed in a dodgeball tournament

• 60 employees competed in a lunch-time trivia tournament

• 120 employees participated in a golf tournament

• 100 employees served at Street School in the Day of Caring

Based on the time required for each

event, that adds up to another 1,732

hours of laboring to love. Together with

the committee, that’s an estimated

grand total of 2,372 hours.

That translates into more than 59 weeks

of work, or more than a year’s worth of

time for a single full-time employee.

The effort raised right at $294,000,

which comes to $124 of monetary

support for every hour invested.
