Thank you to the many community leaders who joined us for this morning's Executive Leadership Forum!

We were graciously hosted by Williams for an important community briefing around homelessness and housing through a practical, cross-sector lens. Special thanks to our guest speakers Lane Wilson, Mark Smith (Housing Solutions Tulsa), Josh Sanders (Tulsa Day Center), Dr. Laura Latta (Tulsa Higher Education Consortium), Chief Michael Baker (Tulsa Fire Department), and Captain Shellie Seibert (Tulsa Police Department).

Attendees learned from leaders closest to issues around housing, nonprofit services, civic partnership, and public safety to better understand barriers, how complex challenges show up in real life, and the coordinated efforts creating progress.

We'd like to give a huge shout-out to Day of Caring's presenting sponsor, of Oklahoma!

Last Friday, 150 BOK employees volunteered with Girl Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma at Camp Tall Chief and Camp Swannie. They painted, sewed new curtains, refreshed volleyball and basketball courts, cleared brush, split firewood, and completed other projects to help prepare the camp for future scouts.

We are grateful for Bank of Oklahoma’s leadership and for every Day of Caring volunteer who spent last Friday serving our neighbors.

Stay tuned for more Day of Caring photos from projects across our service area!

We’re so grateful to both Sand Springs Public Schools and Sapulpa Public Schools for turning their rivalry into an opportunity to give back to our communities! 🪙🏈

During the week of their rivalry football game, the two districts went head-to-head in the Highway 97 Coin War, competing to see who could raise the most for Tulsa Area United Way’s fundraising drive. A few of our staff attended the game to share our mission, hand out swag, and present the Coin War trophy!

🏆 Congratulations to this year’s winner, Sapulpa Public Schools! Huge thanks to both districts for proving that even rivals can come together for a great cause!
