From Staff ReportsAllied Arts' 2016 fundraising campaign closed June 30 and raised $2,986,334 for central Oklahoma's arts community. This brings to more than $60 million the total raised by Allied Arts for the local arts community in its 45-year history, officials said in a news release. The funds are distributed to local nonprofit arts organizations to help ensure they have the resources they need to remain strong, reach underserved populations and offer quality programming to the public. This year's fundraising efforts were chaired by Karen Delaney and Michael Laird, who led a dedicated team of volunteers to oversee the campaign. “We feel the outcome of the campaign was a great achievement, particularly in light of the fact that this was, without question, the most difficult fundraising year in our organization's history,” Laird said.Read more on NewsOK.com
