The Foundation for OCCC

07/08/2026

We are honored to recognize SHRM as a sponsor of the 4th Annual Redwood Gala benefiting the OCCC Foundation.

As the world's leading authority on workplace culture, leadership, and workforce development, SHRM understands that investing in people changes lives. That commitment was on full display at its recent annual conference, which featured renowned media leader and philanthropist Oprah Winfrey as a keynote speaker, inspiring thousands of professionals to lead with purpose and empower human potential.

That same belief is at the heart of OCCC's mission. Together, SHRM and OCCC are helping students develop the skills, education, and confidence needed to succeed in today's workforce and become tomorrow's leaders.

Thank you, SHRM, for investing in student success and helping create opportunities that strengthen our community for years to come.

For more than two decades, First United Bank has been a steadfast partner in advancing the mission of Oklahoma City Community College. Their generous support has helped OCCC expand opportunities, strengthen programs, and change lives through education.

Partnerships like this are built on shared values and First United Bank’s commitment to community investment mirrors OCCC’s dedication to student success. Their giving has played an important role in ensuring that students have access to the resources they need to persist, graduate, and achieve their goals.

Over the years, we’ve seen the impact of this partnership firsthand. From scholarship support to program enhancements, First United Bank has helped remove financial barriers and open doors for countless students many of whom are balancing work, family, and education while striving for a better future.

Just as meaningful are the moments behind the mission: the student who becomes the first in their family to graduate, the working parent who gains new skills for career advancement, or the future leader who finds confidence in the classroom. These stories are a direct reflection of what sustained, community-focused support can accomplish.

We are deeply grateful for First United Bank’s continued investment in OCCC and in the students we serve. Together, we are building stronger futures for individuals, families, and our entire community.

Support from OG&E is helping power more than energy it’s fueling student success at OCCC.

With a 23% increase in Campus Food Pantry visits compared to this time last year, the need has never been greater. Thanks to OG&E’s generosity, we’re able to meet this growing demand and ensure students facing food insecurity have the resources they need to keep moving forward.

Thank you, OG&E, for making a lasting impact!
