Thanks in part to a $7,500 donation from the Arvest Foundation, Boys & Girls Club of Bartlesville will continue to offer year-round programs to youth ages 7-18 and maintain its low membership dues.

Help us fight hunger in our community.

The gift was announced recently at Boys & Girls Club of Bartlesville. Local bank president Kyle Hubbard, loan manager David Nickel and marketing manager Annah Fischer – all of Arvest Bank – were on hand to present the check, along with Oklahoma state senator Julie Daniels.
