Community Involvement

Oklahoma Central is committed to helping people make a positive difference in the communities we serve. Through special events and programs, schools, sponsorships, organizations and fundraisers, we provide time, talent and financial support to numerous constituencies throughout the greater Tulsa metro area. A partial list of activities/organizations Oklahoma Central is involved with, includes: 

Art of BBQ/Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa
2009 marks the fourth consecutive year Oklahoma Central has been the primary sponsor for this fun-filled, very worthwhile event. You can find more information about the Art of Barbeque Website, like the description below, along with a schedule of activities and other need-to-know information:
