🎉💜🎂 HAPPY 80TH BIRTHDAY TO OUR VERY OWN MOM/GRANNY, SUHIYR SALEEM!!! 🎂💜🎉

Today, the EduRec Family proudly celebrates a very special woman whose love, dedication, and unwavering commitment have made a lasting difference in our organization and in the lives of the children and families we serve! ❤️

Mom/Granny, WE LOVE YOU AND WE APPRECIATE YOU!!! 🥰

Your contributions to EduRec go far beyond simply lending a helping hand. You have consistently given your time, energy, wisdom, and love to help ensure that our camps operate smoothly, our campers are safe, and every child has an opportunity to enjoy a positive, nurturing, and memorable experience.

From the countless things you do behind the scenes to the care and attention you give to the little details, YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE! 💜

You remind us that building a strong organization isn’t just about programs and activities. It’s about PEOPLE. It’s about showing up, being dependable, creating a safe environment, and loving children enough to invest in their well-being.

And THAT is exactly what you have done! ❤️

Your servant’s heart, commitment to excellence, and willingness to do whatever is needed have helped make EduRec a place where children can learn, grow, laugh, and create lasting memories.

You are more than a supporter of EduRec. You are FAMILY, a treasured part of our foundation, and a beautiful example of what it means to serve with love and purpose! 💜

On behalf of ALL of our EduRec staff, community partners, campers, and parents, we say THANK YOU! Thank you for your sacrifices, your faithfulness, your patience, your watchful eyes, and most importantly, your LOVE!

As you celebrate 80 AMAZING YEARS OF LIFE, we pray that you receive the same joy, kindness, and love that you have so generously poured into others.

🎂🎉 HAPPY 80TH BIRTHDAY, MOM/GRANNY!!! 🎉🎂

May your day be filled with laughter, beautiful memories, and the knowledge that YOU ARE LOVED, VALUED, AND DEEPLY APPRECIATED BY YOUR ENTIRE EDUREC FAMILY!!! ❤️💜

With love and gratitude,

Your EduRec Family 💜

🎒 COMMUNITY, WE COULD USE YOUR HELP!

A huge THANK YOU to our longtime community partners, 918 Riderz MC Clubhouse, for pulling up and showing up for North Tulsa’s youth for the past 8 years! Their continued commitment to providing backpacks for our young people is what community partnership looks like in action.

As we prepare to serve our students, we are still in need of a few school-supply essentials:

📓 Notebook paper
📁 Binders
🖊️ Ink pens

If you would like to donate, please drop off your items at Langston tomorrow morning, Saturday, August 15, before 9:30 AM.

Whether you donate one pack of paper, a few binders, a box of pens, or enough supplies for several students, every contribution helps us make sure our young people are prepared to start the school year ready to learn.

It takes a village, and for the past 10 years, our village has continued to answer the call. ❤️

Help us finish strong! Donate. Share. Spread the word.
