Help Us Support Oklahoma Tornado Victims

Mixed Bag Designs Supports Oklahoma Relief FundSince yesterday evening we have been glued to the radio in our car and various news programs on our TVs for updates on the tornado that hit Moore, Oklahoma yesterday, May 20, 2013. This morning our team came together and decided we wanted to do something about it. We have run school fundraisers in Moore, Oklahoma with Winding Creek and Applecreek Elementary plus we have worked with numerous clubs and organizations in the area affected by the storms. Today we are launching a campaign to support these schools and the community with an online fundraiser, plus we are providing additional ways you can support those affected by the tornado.

You are invited to shop online at the Mixed Bag Designs Online Store. At the top of any page click on “ENTER FUNDRAISER ID” or make sure the number 227369 is added the Fundraiser ID#. At checkout, you can verify that this number 227369 is in the School/Fundraiser ID# field when you review your order. Mixed Bag Designs is donating 40% of all purchases with the ID#227369 to the Moore School District.
