Oklahoma City Indian Clinic to host 10th Annual Red Feather Gala to help fund pharmacy expansion

U.S. Representative Tom Cole to be honored with Spirit of the Urban Indian Award
 
OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma City Indian Clinic’s 10th Annual Red Feather Gala will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1 in the Great Banking Hall of the First National Center, 120 North Robinson. The gala will raise funds for OKCIC’s CARES Capital Campaign to expand the clinic’s pharmacy and will feature live and silent auctions, live painting and traditional tribal dancing.

Currently, OKCIC’s pharmacy staff fills more than 200,000 prescriptions in its 900-square-foot workplace. To serve more patients, the clinic is continuing to raise funds for a new 7,000-square-foot pharmacy that will give staff the capacity to fill more than 400,000 prescriptions a year, hold education seminars, provide confidential patient consultation and add convenience with a pharmacy drive-through.

 “This year’s Red Feather Gala will be a celebration of Oklahoma City Indian Clinic’s 40 years of service to the community,” said Robyn Sunday-Allen, CEO of OKCIC. “Our patient base has grown tremendously over the past 40 years, and we look forward to expanding our pharmacy, so that we can continue to provide excellent care to our more than 18,000 patients.” 

U.S. Representative Tom Cole will be honored with the Spirit of the Urban Indian Award. As a member of the Chickasaw Nation and one of the only tribal-enrolled American Indians currently serving in Congress, Rep. Cole has been committed to serving American Indians in Oklahoma and across the nation.

Over the course of the evening, internationally known Native American artists Bunky Echo-Hawk, Brent Greenwood and Antonia Belindo will participate in a live painting exhibition. All guests in attendance will also have the opportunity to participate in a Native American Friendship Dance.

Seating will be limited for the event.
