The donation marks another significant donation toward the Oklahoma Campaign for Children's Health, a $30 million campaign created to meet the needs of Oklahoma's ill children.
"We are excited to have 7-Eleven Stores as a new part of the CHF family," said Kathy McCracken, CHF executive director. "The 7-Eleven donation will make large strides [image-nocss] in improving the health of Oklahoma's children. We are grateful for their dedication to the mission of the Foundation and for so generously supporting our life-saving work."
To honor the gift, the fifth floor in the OU Children's Physicians building, home to Children's Hospital Foundation supported physicians, will bear the 7-Eleven name.
In 1953, 7-Eleven (Oklahoma) opened its first store in Oklahoma City. It now operates 109 stores in central Oklahoma. It continues as a locally owned and operated company under the same family management. 7-Eleven in Oklahoma has no connection with the international firm with the same name. The c-store firm has been raising money for children's causes for nearly 40 years.
