of more than 200 stores in more than 30 states. At a ribbon cutting ceremony Thursday for the newest Love's in Oklahoma City, Greg Love (far left), president of Love's Development Companies, presented the check to Sue Homsey and Kathy McCracken of the Oklahoma Children's Medical Research Institute. CMRI is the local beneficiary of funds raised for CMN. The newest Love's joins all its other locations across the country this month for its 10th annual fundraising campaign for CMN.
