your legacy Investing in Community Heroes For John and Claudia Holliman, their affiliated fund at the Oklahoma City Community Foundation is an investment in the community they call home. “The Community Foundation makes it simple to give back to a number of organizations each year,” John said. One nonprofit the couple enjoys supporting is the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation (SDF), which trains shelter dogs for search and rescue teams throughout the country. “Since the Hollimans’ initial gift in 2011, SDF-trained search teams have deployed to 93 incidents, including three missing person searches and five tornadoes in Oklahoma,” said Debra Roets, SDF philanthropy and grants officer. “Their philanthropic investment continues to have a lasting impact, providing lifesaving aid to residents in the aftermath of disasters.” Annual Report 2018
