Today, at Oklahoma State Capitol, APPNA Oklahoma proudly presented a $20,000 check to the American Red Cross to support Enid-area disaster relief and recovery efforts following the devastating EF4 tornado that impacted the community less than two weeks ago.
We are grateful to Representative Chad Caldwell for hosting us, and to Senator Roland Pederson and Representative Carl Newton for joining the presentation alongside leadership from the American Red Cross Central & Southwest Oklahoma Chapter.
This contribution was made possible through a rapid fundraising effort by APPNA Oklahoma.
Beyond financial support, this was also an opportunity to engage with local legislators and community stakeholders to reaffirm that APPNA Oklahoma stands ready to support Oklahoma communities through both fiscal and human resources whenever needed.

In response to the Enid tornado, APPNA-OK is launching an urgent fundraising drive with a goal of $10,000.
Donations will support the American Red Cross, providing immediate relief (shelter, meals, essential resources) to affected families. We will also keep local legislators informed to ensure coordination and highlight APPNA-OK’s support.
- An anonymous donor has already pledged $2,500.
- APPNA-OK will match up to an additional $2,500 for funds raised beyond that.
*Deadline: Tuesday, April 28 at 8:00 PM*

Unraveling the genetics, diagnostic markers, and therapeutic targets of premature coronary artery disease
❤️ Why Your Support Matters — Especially Now
Pakistan faces one of the highest cardiovascular burdens in the world. Premature coronary artery disease (PCAD) is alarmingly common, with over half of PCI patients presenting with early-onset disease. These young patients urgently need breakthroughs that only modern, high-resolution science can deliver.
Your support drives the discovery of genomic, proteomic, and lipidomic markers that can change diagnosis and treatment for future generations.
💰 Our Goal
Target: $50,000
Your contribution directly funds advanced sample processing, proteomic/lipidomic assays, and whole-genome sequencing — the tools essential for uncovering new diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

We are sharing highlights from our Community Health Fair, organized in partnership with INTEGRIS Health and other amazing collaborators, and courtesy of OSMA Foundation funding on Saturday, October 25.
APPNA OK physicians and dentists provided vital care and screenings to community members, many of whom are uninsured or underserved.
Check out the infographic below for all the impressive impact stats and summary!
Thank you to all incredible volunteers who made this possible!
APPNA Oklahoma, along with the greater Pakistani Oklahoma community and friends, is launching, “Together Against Hunger” campaign - a rapid response fundraiser for the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma (RFBO).
SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) helps low-income families buy groceries each month. Approximately 700,000 Oklahomans rely on it, and those benefits may be suspended Nov 1 if the federal shutdown continues.
Please watch the brief message that the RFBO CEO, Stacy Dykstra recorded for the Pakistani Oklahoma community today.
Let’s act now so no Oklahoma family goes hungry. Even if the shutdown resolves, every dollar will still go to the Food Bank and Central APPNA will match 50% of all donations.
Every dollar = more meals for Oklahoma families.
Donate via Zelle: send to [email protected]
(Please note “Hunger Campaign” in the memo line.)
