OKLAHOMA CAPITOL--- The Oklahoma Department of Human Services Office of Volunteerism recently recognized a Chandler organization at the State Volunteer Awards Ceremony in Oklahoma City at the Langston University-Oklahoma City campus. 

Bikers Against Child Abuse, 4 Corners Oklahoma was honored during the ceremony as an exceptional organization whose volunteer service has had a significant impact on individuals or a community.  
 
BACA, 4 Corners was recognized for their tireless support of the annual foster care Christmas party. For the past five years, the group has supported this community event by setting up carnival booths and inflatable toys, serving and preparing food, cleaning, entertaining the children by applying temporary tattoos and filling any need to help make the party a success.

The organization assists with fundraisers and has distinguished themselves as an invaluable asset to the local OKDHS office and to the community of Chandler. They also attend legal proceedings in support of children and to act as a reassuring presence in the courtroom.

Gov. Brad Henry’s Cabinet Secretary for Human Services, OKDHS Director Howard H. Hendrick, presented the awards and congratulated the honorees.

The theme, Volunteers Create Magic, was displayed throughout the room as each recipient was awarded a trophy and a commendation from the state legislature.  A reception followed the ceremony.
