Community Spirit Shines from OSUIT Clubs for Okmulgee County Humane Society’s New Adoption Center
July 22, 2024
Community Spirit Shines from OSUIT Clubs for Okmulgee County Humane Society’s New Adoption Center

We extend our gratitude for the Summer Jam Fundraising Event to benefit OCHS which was held on July 18th.  This effort was spearheaded by OSUIT PAWS (People for Animal Wellness and Safety), who coordinated with nine other campus clubs to include: SGA (Student Government Association, RHA (Residence Hall Association), PLOT (Professional Leaders of Tomorrow), PTK (Phi Theta Kappa),  ISA (International Society of Automation), SAGA (Sexuality and Gender Acceptance), GEO (Gaming and Entertainment Organization),  VCC (Visual Communications Collective), and CSPN (Competitive Sports Players Network).

Each club purchased and donated an exciting item to be raffled by $2 tickets.   A lot of work went into creating this fun event.

Some of the fun included free food, face painting, snow cones, sidewalk art contest, corn hole toss, water balloon fight, inflatable obstacle course, and dunk tank.

We certainly hope all who attended enjoyed themselves as much as OCHS members.  OCHS had a booth with a slideshow of our adoptables, a binder showcasing profile bios with photos, and our Adoption Center plans.  We met many people and picked up two new fosters.  Still, this was an active event, not one to merely sit and observe.  So we managed to partake in many of the fun festivities!

All together OSUIT clubs raised $1513.00 to go towards our new, upcoming Adoption Center!  We are so proud and very thankful for all who contributed and offered support by donating time, funds, purchasing raffle tickets, and attending this amazing event.

We invite you to follow us on FB to see videos from Summer Jam and keep informed of our upcoming events.  You will also get to see our featured adoptables who are in need of forever homes in foster care and boarding.  To view our entire list of adoptables, visit our website: https://www.okmulgeehumane.org/adoptables.html
