OKLAHOMA CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MidFirst Bank presented a $25,000 check to Infant Crisis Services in support of their annual Boots & Ball Gowns fundraising event. The contribution underscores MidFirst Bank’s continued commitment to strengthening the communities it serves and supporting organizations that provide essential care to Oklahoma’s most vulnerable families.

Boots & Ball Gowns is Infant Crisis Services’ largest annual fundraiser, raising critical funds to support its mission that no baby goes hungry. Proceeds from the event help feed and diaper babies and toddlers in 31 counties in Oklahoma.

“Supporting children and families during their most critical moments aligns closely with MidFirst Bank’s values to play an active, positive role in the communities where we operate,” said Todd Dobson, CEO of MidFirst Bank. “Infant Crisis Services plays a vital role in our Oklahoma community, and we are honored to support Boots & Ball Gowns and the meaningful impact this organization delivers every day.”

Supporting Oklahoma’s Children

Infant Crisis Services provides life-sustaining essentials to all children younger than four during times of crisis, serving as a lifeline for 25,000 babies annually. MidFirst Bank’s donation will help expand access to these essential services and ensure families continue to receive timely support when they need it most.

“Infant Crisis Services has flourished due to support from MidFirst Bank,” said Miki Farris, Infant Crisis Services co-founder and executive director. “MidFirst Bank volunteers have made a positive impact on the well-being of more than two thousand babies and toddlers in the past two years. MidFirst has sponsored many of our events, which helps to build awareness of our services and raise funds to feed and diaper as many little ones as we can. Their generosity has truly been a blessing.”
