OCU declares April 21 as Day of Champions

Show your support for OCU Athletics

OKLAHOMA CITY – While the global pandemic took most of 2020, and some of 2021, from us, the championship spirit of Oklahoma City University remains intact.

The majority of our athletic programs began competing once more in January after almost a full year of interrupted schedules in the classroom, on the practice fields and long periods away from teammates and coaches.

Each year, hundreds of OCU Alumni and supporters have gathered in the spring for our largest fund-raising event of the year – the Sports Spectacular. The absence of this event in 2020 and again in the Spring of 2021 leaves a void in our ability to continually fund our championship endeavors. Our success on the field and in the classroom relies more than ever on the generosity of our alums, fans, and donors. On April 21, just a few weeks from now, we will be holding our annual "Day of Champions" Giving Day to help fill the fund-raising gap that we face as it relates to producing the very best intercollegiate athletic experience.

In the next two weeks, we'll be active on social media and the web, sharing some fun and some facts in advance of the big day. Our coaches and student-athletes will also be sharing information and communication with you in the days leading up to, and on, the Day of Champions. You don't have to wait until April 21 if you want to get ahead of the game – the Day of Champions Web site is already accepting donations to the sport of your choice.

If you are interested in setting up a challenge gift, or matching gift, please contact Chris Maxon, Associate Athletic Director for Development – (405) 208-5431 or camaxon@okcu.edu.
