Historical Highlight (March 2022)

This month in history: In March 1944, Sapulpa’s Red Cross War Fund Drive began. The quota for the city was set at $17,000; Creek County’s quota was set at $39,000*. The drive lasted the entire month of March. The City of Sapulpa met and surpassed their goal (raising $17,500); the County, however, just fell short of their goal (raising $30,050 or “90 percent of the required amount.”). “Sapulpa, key city of the county, came through with such a fine showing…”
*Note: $17,000 and $39,000 in 1944 is close to $250,000 and $560,000 with today’s value.
