Last week, Jon Crippen, Bank of Oklahoma SVP, Senior Consumer Regional Manager, presented a donation to the Oklahoma Assistive Technology Foundation (OkAT). The funds will support OkAT's low-interest financial loan program to help Oklahomans obtain assistive technology (AT). AT is any device, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially, modified, or customized, that is used to maintain or improve the independence of individuals with disabilities.

Thank you Bank of Oklahoma for your support!
