County Clerk Keglers Raise Money for Camp ClapHans

Cleveland County Clerk, Tammy Howard, and 88 citizens of Cleveland County met for an evening of "gutter madness" at the Sooner Bowling Center in Norman to raise money for Camp ClapHans, a summer camp project of the J. D. McCarty Center.

"This was our second event," said Brooke Workman, one of the event coordinators from Howard's office. "With a year of experience under our belts, we were better organized and it showed in the amount of money we raised."

"This year's gutter madness netted $3,588," said Uwe von Schamann, director of development for the McCarty Center. "The money will go to the Camp ClapHans scholarship endowment fund. This fund will provide scholarships to assist families with the camp tuition."

The J. D. McCarty Center is Oklahoma's center of excellence in the care and treatment of children with developmental disabilities from birth to age 21. Founded in 1946, in Norman, the McCarty Center only treated one diagnosis…cerebral palsy. Today, the McCarty Center has treated more than 70 different diagnoses in the developmental disability catergory.
