Stories of Impact
Phyllis Bennett
For over 25 years, Phyllis Bennett supported the mission of Infant Crisis Services. And by naming ICS as one of the beneficiaries of her trust upon her death, Phyllis will continue to provide for the babies and toddlers of Oklahoma. When setting up her trust, Phyllis told her daughter, “When you send the donations, make sure to send them on time because those babies count on it.” For Phyllis, it wasn’t that she knew she’d be remembered – she knew the babies would be cared for.
Lauren Ottaway Johnson
“I have included Infant Crisis Services as a beneficiary of my retirement account. As a loyal annual donor to ICS, it was easy to update my beneficiary designation form to include ICS without having to do any additional planning. I would advise you to think about leaving a legacy gift to Infant Crisis Services so that its mission can carry on long after you or me!”

Her choice to become involved with our mission was an easy one, telling us “The one goal of Infant Crisis Services is to care for babies and their families… that is what interests me most about this organization.”
With the 40-year anniversary of our services on the horizon this year, we ponder the meaning of a legacy. As a supporter of our events, our day-to-day fundraising efforts, and our planned giving initiatives, Kirk Hammons has ensured full bellies, dry diapers, and bright futures for so many infants and toddlers, a legacy that will create a ripple effect of positive change for this community she loves so dearly.
