Stillwater Strong fundraising efforts ending

K a e ly n n Knoernschild staff re port er

Efforts to raise money for the Stillwater Strong fund are ending, and a local nonprofit has been told to distribute the money to avoid future image issues, the director of the nonprofit said.

The Stillwater Medical Center Foundation has raised about $485,000 in the past

four months to financially assist the victims of the Oklahoma State homecoming parade crash Oct. 24, D. Scott Petty said.

He said the money in the fund will most likely be dispersed by the end of March, but 41 crash victims must pay taxes on the money because of how the foundation is dispersing the funds.

“We just wanted to make sure we didn’t have lingering effects,” Petty said, referencing public image issues associated with the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial fund.

Petty said the foundation didn’t want any “lingering effects” from holding onto

Petty said. “That’s created a public image problem for them. We don’t want that.”

The Oklahoma City Community Foundation has been criticized for not disbursing the remaining money in its funds to bombing victims.

A nonprofit leadership expert said transparency is essential when handling tragedy funds.

“If you’re managing those dollars, in this kind of circumstance, you do have to be completely transparent to the donors, certainly, but to the community in general about how you’re doing all of this,” Bob Spinks said.

you don’t, it raises all kinds of doubt and questions.”

Many factors influence the lifespan of a tragedy fund, said Spinks, the director of a nonprofit leadership program at Oklahoma City University and former president and CEO of United Way of Central Oklahoma. Spinks said immediate, intermediate and long-term needs are taken into account when funds are established.

“It’s kind of difficult sometimes to say, ‘We’re going to need this much money’ or ‘It’s going to take this long to do what we have to do,’” he said.

Spinks said it is atypical for donation recipients to have to pay taxes on money they receive.

“Typically, you try to do things to protect the donor intent of what they wanted the money to go for but also to protect those getting the help so they’re not being punished with some kind of unreasonable tax situation,” Spinks said.

Petty said an attorney told the foundation the money would be taxable. He said the foundation has been transparent about the taxa-

st i l lwat e r st rong tion since the early stages of the fund’s establishment.

“There are a lot of hoops and hurdles, a lot of things you have to do, a lot of ‘i’s you have to dot and ‘t’s you have to cross just to disburse the money,” Petty said. “Every letter that we’ve communicated with (the victims) we’ve shared with them that this will likely Courtesy of Mark McNitt be a taxable event Tyler Zander, left, Leo Schmitz, for them.” center, and Burns Hargis pose.

With Schmitz unable to work his job at American Airlines and his wife assuming the role of his caretaker, McNitt said the effects of the crash have created financial difficulties for the couple.

An attorney and owner of Nonprofit Solutions P.C. said it is not unusual for a victim fund to end and money to be dispersed quickly.

“It sounds like they set it up, they raised money specifically for these victims,” Jeri Trowler said. “… They’ve told the donors they’re going to give the money away, they need to give the money away so they are following donor intent.”

Trowler equated the Stillwater Strong fund to a disaster relief fund for

tornado victims.

“Disaster response groups will start raising (money) specifically for a disaster and then when the money is gone, shut it down,” Trowler said.

The president of the Oklahoma City Community Foundation said the money is taxable because it is not being distributed on the basis of need. The OCCF oversees the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial fund.

Nancy Anthony said if the disbursement was based on an expense such as a medical bill a victim had, the money wouldn’t be deemed taxable.

“If the disbursement was based on just an arbitrary participation, they were there, this happened to them, therefore they get this

proportionate share of it, then it’s not a need thing,” Anthony said.

She also said tragedy funds are not meant to provide compensation for being a victim but instead serve to directly take care of victims’ needs.

“It’s supposed to help meet the needs of people as it relates to whatever the tragedy is and whatever needs that they have that resulted from the tragedy,” Anthony said.

After March, any donations received will benefit the hospital emergency room, Petty said.

He said the emergency room took a $220,000 loss as the hospital declined to bill crash victims.

“I think that’s the right thing to do,” Petty said.

“Our equipment, our staff, our facility was heavily engaged that day.”

Additionally, Petty estimates the foundation will take a loss of at least $5,000 to cover postage, credit card charges and PayPal fees associated with the donation process. The foundation is paying legal fees for advice sought on overseeing the fund, Petty said.

“Literally, 100 percent of every dollar that was given to us is going back to the victims,” Petty said. “We wanted to do exactly what we set out to do, and that’s to provide some funds to these folks who need it. And ultimately, that’s what we’re doing.” f o l l o w k a e ly n n : @ k a e ly n n _ k 5

Cowboy baseball team wins home opener

anything like it.

When the OSU baseball team won its home opener 7-1 against Incarnate Word on Tuesday, it ended a fourgame losing streak for the Cowboys. Each loss came in walk-off fashion.

“You’ve got to keep it in perspective,” Holliday said.

“It’s a game. It’s a sport. If you lose, you lose. How you lose, you can’t let that get in your craw any more than losing any of itself.

“You’ve just got to bounce back, which our kids did today.”

The key was their speed.

The No. 22 Cowboys (3-5) stole eight bases in nine tries, including four from center fielder Garrett

McCain.

Before Tuesday, OSU had been successful on five of its nine attempts.

With OSU holding a 2-1 lead against the Cardinals (3-5), McCain led off the third inning with a bunt single down the first-base line. After stealing second, he tried to do the same at third. UIW catcher Robert Lopez’s throw sailed into left, letting McCain score an easy run.

“It was beneficial for us to come out here strong, be aggressive early, put some runs up, be productive offensively after the weekend we had,” McCain said.

“We didn’t struggle, by any means, but we didn’t get the

outcome that we wanted, so I definitely think this was a very good win for us.”

McCain’s speed again benefited the Cowboys in the fourth, when OSU added four runs with two outs. With a run in and right fielder Corey Hassel at second, McCain dribbled a groundball to third, but he beat the throw to first.

When McCain took off for second, Lopez threw to third, attempting to catch Hassel off the bag. Again, he threw it away, bringing in another Cowboy run.

Shortstop Donnie Walton singled to right three pitches later to score McCain.

Walton then used his speed to score the final

said. “(Second baseman Jacob) Chappell said something as soon as the game started. The seniors were right when I was a freshman. It goes by fast. It’s been a lot of fun here, and I can’t wait to keep going.” f o l l o w n at h a n : @ n at h a n s r u i z
