Fields & Futures Bowtie Ball – Party with a Purpose

Nov 9, 2015

“HEY, COACH. THIS IS FOR YOU!”

A night to celebrate, honor and thank the coaches who make the world a better place – one athlete at a time, the Fields & Futures Bowtie Ball is set for Thursday, December 17, 2015 at the Chevy Bricktown Events Center. This year’s guest speaker is Herm Edwards, ESPN analyst and former NFL head coach.

Presented by SandRidge Energy and Mercy, this party with a purpose celebrates the profession of coaching, reminding everyone of the important role coaches play in helping grow young men and women into confident adults, better prepared to deal with life beyond high school. “We can never underestimate the influence of a coach in a child’s life,” says Tim McLaughlin, founder of Fields & Futures. “It promises to be a great night.”

One hundred percent of proceeds from this event go directly to support field construction, field maintenance and programs focused on growing student participation in sports. Thank you for your support!

Hope in Action at the 2024 Kansas Relays

Thanks to the Simon Greiner Program, eight talented student-athletes and four coaches from John Marshall's 2023 5A state champion sprint relay teams were given a life-changing opportunity to compete on a national stage at one of the oldest and most prestigious track meets in the country, the 2024 Kansas Relays. The trip was more than just a reward for their accomplishments; it was a vivid demonstration of "Hope in Action."

Beyond 500: Coach Patrick Cudjoe Teaches Winning On and Off the Court

John Marshall boys basketball coach Patrick Cudjoe recently eclipsed 500 career wins, a milestone only a dozen other active coaches have reached. With deep roots in Oklahoma City Public Schools as a student, athlete, educator, coach, and parent, his impact on the OKCPS community continues to extend far beyond the court.
