Here at Fields & Futures, we are grateful year-round to have a generous and loyal group of supporters and partners who share our belief that sports participation has an immediate and long-lasting, positive effect on kids and communities.

As we all know, the sports world is driven by seasons, and one of our favorites kicks off next Tuesday. But this season doesn’t require fields, balls, or coaches – all it calls for is kindness.

The season is the Giving Season, and opening day is #GivingTuesday.

It is on this day that many of our supporters choose to make a gift to Fields & Futures. Others see it as an opportunity to spread awareness about our organization. And while #GivingTuesday is always impactful, we want to encourage our followers to bring good into the world beyond this one day.

 

Give___Today begins… Today!

 

Give___Today is a week of generosity encouraging our followers to give daily, non-monetary gifts to the people and communities they love leading up to #GivingTuesday.

Each day this week, we will prompt our followers with a new way to do good in the lives of others. Our goal is to remind you of the influence you can have on a young person, team, school, community, or organization at no cost to you.

Ready to participate? Awesome! Here’s a sneak peek the Give___Today calendar.

Oh, and feel free to get a head start on any of these acts of kindness.

Monday – Encouragement

Tuesday – Acceptance

Wednesday – Guidance

Thursday – Gratitude

Friday – Time

Saturday – Hope

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.
