In the second half of 2024, our DNOW Lights volunteers continued to bring light to the communities we serve, making a meaningful difference through a variety of impactful initiatives around the world. Here are some highlights of DNOW Lights activities in the second half of 2024:
Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Forget-Me-Not Drive
Each year DAV chapters across the country distribute forget-me-not flowers in their local communities and encourage donations to support disabled American veterans. The forget-me-not is meant to serve as a symbol of remembrance for servicemen and women and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. This year our DNOW team in Odessa, Texas assisted in encouraging donations to the DAV!
Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County
Our DNOW Lights team in Oklahoma City participated in a back-to-school drive for the Boys & Girls Clubs, along with a customer’s corporate offices, collecting a generous amount of supplies. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County have about 350 students aged 5 to 18 in their after-school program that will be able to use these supplies.
Boys & Girls Clubs of the MonDak
This past July 8-11, the DNOW Lights team in Sidney, Montana joined forces with the Boys & Girls Clubs of the MonDak to help serve lunch and organized fun activities for the kids. Our volunteers were thrilled to make sure these children had an afternoon they won’t forget!

Maranoa Netball Association (MNA)
Our DNOW team supported the Youth of Roma, Australia at the Maranoa Netball Association, a community group founded in 2011 and run by a raft of volunteers. The Association caters to Juniors from as young as 5 years old with regional competitions from April to September and social netball in the winter. With a strong emphasis on keeping active and a healthy lifestyle, MNA encourages participation and fun above all else. This sponsorship offered by MacLean is long-standing within the Roma community and stems back many years; we sponsor not only netball teams, but also tennis, local shows and local country motor sporting events.
