How You Can Support Us
We look to tailor our partnerships to meet your business goals and work side-by-side to create engaging opportunities that have a positive impact. Here are several ways that your company can participate:
Special Events
The OK mission was built through connections and funds raised via our special events. Over the years, we have worked to take the financial pressure off of these events, while also aiming to maximize their potential as a forum to connect with our community. We host several marquee annual events, along with many other smaller events throughout the year.
OK GALA
APRIL
SEMI-FORMAL EVENING OUT
With the coming of Spring also comes the OK gala. Watch for the gala each year in April. First-class food and drinks, great live music, and exciting auctions highlight this semi-formal affair.
OK CLASSIC

SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT & FESTIVAL
Each September, OK plays host to a coed 14” softball tournament on the fields in Forest Park. In addition to softball, it is a day full of great food, friends and family fun.

FOOD-FUN-FOOTBALL-CHILI
Come join us in January for the NFL’s conference champion-ship Sunday. This annual OK event plays host to an epic chili throw-down, the NFL’s best football and great friends getting together for OK.
