The station will air a recovery special and telethon at 7 p.m. Tuesday on News 9. It will also be streamed on the News 9 app, News9.com and the KWTV Facebook page.

"Healing the Heartland" will air from 7 to 8 p.m.

Another partner in our telethon is Domino Incorporated, which operates Domino C-Stores across western Oklahoma. On Monday, April 23, 100 percent of proceeds from food and fountain drink sales at all 17 of their locations were donated to wildfire relief.

Domino also partnered with Shell to donate $10 for every person who signs up for their Fuel Rewards program until Monday at any of their partnering locations. Thank you, Domino!!

"Thank you to everyone that was involved with our fundraiser yesterday: to our employees who put in the extra effort to make this event a success, to our partner Shell for their contribution, to Marty Logan for taking the time out to visit our stores to promote the fundraiser, to our sister company, Domino Transports, for helping spread the word, K101 in Woodward for giving us the chance to call in and tell people about the fundraiser, and the House FM for promoting our relief efforts to their listeners, and to all the customers that stopped in yesterday to participate," said Domino spokesperson Kathryn Knott.
