Oklahoma City company develops interactive way to raise more for awareness, charity

Twyman has a personal interest in RaiseMore.

“I have a niece who was born with Down syndrome,” Twyman said. “Our family participated in the Buddy Walk this year to celebrate Evelyn Joy's first birthday. The value of connecting the people at the event, the support group and donors with the organization to see the walk in real time and be able to interact and donate is why I'm so passionate about RaiseMore.”

RaiseMore anticipates launching the interactive fundraising application in the first quarter, and it will be available for iPhone and Android devices.

This is another great example of a homegrown Oklahoma technology with potential to benefit people far beyond the borders of our state.
