OBU 22nd In Make-A-Wish Giving

SHAWNEE – Oklahoma Baptist finished 22nd in 2016-17 in its collection of donations for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
 
Oklahoma Baptist teams came together to raise $5,230 last year, which was in the top 30 of all colleges in NCAA Division II and the second-best effort in the Great American Conference.
 
Division II schools raised more than $634,000 for Make-A-Wish during the 2016-17 academic year. The amount raised sets a new Division II fundraising record for the sixth consecutive year and exceeds last year's total by $26,000.
 
Since the Division II Student-Athlete Advisory Committee established the partnership with Make-A-Wish in 2003, the division has raised over $5.3 million for the nonprofit organization. Those funds have been used to grant wishes to more than 660 kids across the country with life-threatening medical conditions.
