Thank You Tweethearts!
Thanks to OASIS Tweethearts, over $284,000 will help provide even more health and wellness programs for adults 50+!
We asked for your help and you delivered.
The OASIS Institute was one of four national charities chosen to participate in the Sam’s Club Giving Made Simple campaign. During July, Sam’s Club members could go online or visit the store to vote for one of these organizations, with each daily vote worth $5 to that organization. In all, received nearly 57,000 votes nationwide. On two designated Twitter voting days that were open to the public, OASIS received more “tweet votes” than any of the other charities.
We are pleased to report that the final tally has $284,730 coming to the OASIS Institute as a result of this program. Special thanks goes to all of our “tweethearts,” who really turned out for us.

Now it’s our turn to put these funds to work for them. OASIS plans to expand health and wellness programming in the area over the next year. Examples of programs currently offered include educational sessions on diabetes, fall prevention and nutrition, as well as yoga, Pilates, dance and other exercise programs.
Sam’s Club called this campaign Giving Made Simple. To all of those who voted for OASIS, you’re simply the best!
