Power of Sports – Presented by Group One Thousand One

Sep 10, 2017

Making its national debut on FOX Sports Southwest and other participating FOX Sports regional networks this past week, Power of Sports was created to share inspiring stories of people, organizations and communities connecting through sports to create opportunities for youth to join teams and find the motivator they need to go to school, stay in school and prepare for life beyond the classroom.

See PowerofSports.TV for more information and to view two segments from the September show (Fields & Futures; OKC Police Athletic League).

Thanks to the generous support of Group One Thousand One, formerly known as Delaware Life Holdings, Fields & Futures will benefit in two significant ways:

1.  A 2-minute segment in each month’s show, featuring an individual impacted by a new athletic field and all it represents … a great opportunity to expand message reach and inspire new donor support.

2.  The opportunity to offer a unique recognition benefit to five (5) corporate donors who could benefit from a national message platform. NOTE: In just the month of September, Power of Sports will air a total of 63 times across 33 states. As always, 100% of each donor gift goes directly to field construction, maintenance or programs (100% of Fields & Futures overhead is funded by a private grant). If interested, please email or call Dot Rhyne at 405-605-9550; [email protected].

Reminder: Group One Thousand One is matching all new gifts to Fields & Futures 1:1 up to $1.5 million over the next 3 years (2017-2019)!

What Drives Capitol Hill and U.S. Grant Football?

U.S. Grant and Capitol Hill may be rivals, but their football programs have more in common than their annual "Southside Bedlam" rivalry game. From 2014-2020, the OSSAA allowed both programs to play as independents so they could create their own schedules and rebuild their programs. Now playing in Class 6A, neither team has found success in district play, but they also know the scoreboard isn't the only standard of success.
