Static pools?

I want a block of memory which will last across calls to a function. i.e.
a static, global to my source file. How do I go about achieving this with
the memory pool system used by APR? Presumably I can't simply say:

  static FirstRun = (1 == 1);
  static BigOlStruc *TheStruc;

  void TheFunc(apr_pool_t *pool)
  {
    if (FirstRun) {
      TheStruc = apr_palloc(sizeof(BigOlStruc), pool);
      FirstRun = (1 == 0);
    }
    ...

All sorts of crazy stuff might happen while I'm away, I could come back
and find that my memory has been de-allocated.
