Broken Arrow, OK, 8/19/22 – Cox Charities has donated $10,000 to Gatesway Foundation, Inc. for use toward the construction of the Gatesway Friends Outdoor Exercise Park on their Broken Arrow campus.

Gatesway is excited to receive this generous donation in support of increased mobility and therapeutic movement options for Friends within the organization.  The outdoor exercise park will be available to the community for use as well, allowing for integration between the I/DD population served at Gatesway and members of the surrounding community within Tulsa and Wagoner Counties.  These funds will allow for complete construction of the outdoor exercise park, including the purchase of adaptive equipment to meet varying needs of Friends.
