OOYCS dance competition fundraiser planned July 20

For more than 20 years, Okmulgee- Okfuskee County Youth Services (OOCYS) has held an annual golf tournament fundraiser. A gradual decline in participation and support for the tournament has prompted OOCYS administration and board to offer a new, fun and exciting opportunity to our community.

This year Okmulgee-Okfuskee County Youth Services invites the community to step into the Line-Dancing Competition and Showcase Saturday, July 20, at the Okmulgee High School Brock Gym.

Okmulgee-Okfuskee County Youth Services (Anne Moroney Youth Services) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and a Tulsa Area United Way Partner Agency.

The agency’s mission is to improve the quality of life for children, youth and families in Okmulgee and Okfuskee Counties by providing individual and family counseling, parenting, prevention education, consultation and advocacy.

OOCYS is looking for sponsorships and dance teams for this local event and wishes to take this time to thank all those who have supported them through the years and welcome all new sponsors and participants. Your support will allow the non-profit to have a successful event and provide valuable services to the youth and families of the community.

• Electric Slide – $500

• Cha Cha Slide – $400

• Cotton Eye Joe – $300

• The Wobble – $200
