Give today to support your Large Co-ed Cheerleaders, Pom Squad, and Pistol Pete. Be the team behind the team for the Spirit Squads of OSU! OSU Spirit Squad Give today to support your Large Co-ed Cheerleaders, Pom Squad, and Pistol Pete. Be the team behind the team for the Spirit Squads of OSU! The Spirit Squads at OSU work hard to represent the university and bring an electric atmosphere to all events. Their commitment includes 56 required athletic events. This consists of home football, away football, bowl game, home basketball (men’s and women’s), home wrestling, conference basketball tournaments, and NCAA basketball tournaments. The Pom Squad performs during home basketball and home football games. Our Large Co-ed Cheerleaders compete at NCA Cheer Nationals in Daytona, Florida in April. And of course, the greatest mascot in the country, Pistol Pete, makes between 500-550 appearances a year. The sideline is not the only place that they are in high demand. The Spirit Squad is requested at community and university events as well. The members of Pom and Large Co-ed Cheer volunteer their time and continually log over 1000 volunteer hours a year. With their dynamic personalities and glowing representation, they are a staple in this OSU community. With the donations from this campaign, we are able to increase opportunities within our group. We want to focus on recruiting at the highest level to continually choose high caliber members. Your donations will increase budget support for travel and expenses, support to NCA Cheer Nationals, supply OSU Pom Boots, and provide banquets, meals, team experiences, travel gear, National Championship rings, and repairs for the Pistol Pete equipment.

Fall 2025 - Women's Club Basketball
By Women’s Club Basketball
We are a club sport that likes to have fun and stay active. We enjoy getting to travel to other states to play competitive basketball.
We are a club sport that likes to have fun and stay active. We enjoy getting to travel to other states to play competitive basketball. Women’s Club Basketball Welcome! We are so glad to have you here to learn a little bit about us. The WBC is a competitive team made to bring women together with a passion for basketball. We were established just four years ago, in 2021, and are working hard everyday to build our name and program. What we do: Each week, our team members have two practices that are two hours each. We have extremely high attendance rates and strive to make it to every practice even through busy school and work schedules. This fall, we will travel to TX for a tournament and plan to host a tournament in mid-November. We can't wait to host again, as it was a success last year. Our main season, however, is in the spring. We will travel about 4 times throughout February and March. Last year, we traveled to Texas twice, along with Missouri, and Colorado. How You Can Help: By donating to our club, you can help our team continue to grow. It is extremely expensive to travel for every game we play. Each weekend, we must pay to fill our tanks with gas, stay in hotel rooms, cover tournament entry fees, and yearly league fees. There are food costs, which players are responsible for independently. This does not mention the outside costs like uniforms, team warm-ups. By graciously donating to our team, you allow us to keep player dues low. Our current dues are $150 per travel player, per semester. Although this is as low as we can make dues and stay a functioning club, this price is a barrier for many women to access our club. We do our best to make the team a financially inclusive experience and you have the opportunity to help us achieve that goal. Thank you for your consideration to help our team!

Fall 2025 - Support the 2026 Summer GEO-REx
By The BPSoG GEO-REx Team
Help spread the joy of geoscience by funding a summer geoscience research experience for high school students across Oklahoma.
Help spread the joy of geoscience by funding a summer geoscience research experience for high school students across Oklahoma. The BPSoG GEO-REx Team Thank you all so much for making our GEO-REx PhilanthroPete Campaign a huge success! Many thanks to Lawrence and Patty Walker and Mike and Sue Gaskins for their generosity in setting up the matching fund, and to all our donors for helping us exceed our fundraising goal. OUR GOAL: Raise funds to support the Geoscience Research Experience (GEO-REx), a summer experience that introduces geoscience to high school students. WHY: The Boone Pickens School of Geology (BPSoG) aims to prepare students who effectively contribute towards the future of energy and preserving our environment, in line with OSU's land grant mission, pillars, and core values. The GEO-REx program is an opportunity to introduce high school students to the geosciences, including research, careers, and the relevance to sustainability, energy, and environmental topics. The GEO-REx program is a crucial component of the BPSoG outreach effort to develop and encourage the next generation of geoscientists. The GEO-REx Program: The GEO-REx program provides opportunities for student participants to engage in field trips and workshops designed to target different aspects of the geosciences, including geophysics, energy, water resources, environmental studies, and more, led by BPSoG faculty and assisting graduate students. The students will also participate in a research project mentored by BPSoG faculty and graduate students, including collecting samples, utilizing cutting-edge lab equipment and analytical software programs, and obtaining their own data. These research experiences will then be presented at the end of GEO-REx to their families, friends, and donors. Additionally, student participants have the option to continue their research project throughout the school year, submitting results to their local science fair, or just listing the project on their college applications. The GEO-REx program is specifically created as an opportunity available to any high school student in Oklahoma, though we accept students from other states as well. For more information, visit the GEO-REx webpage. SUPPORT OUR GOAL: Previous GEO-REx offerings have had maximum student enrollment, including out-of-state high school students, and overall we continue to receive very positive feedback from participants and their parents. The funds raised will go towards supporting the continuation of the GEO-REx program, ensuring student participants can attend at minimal cost. The funds raised will help cover room and board in an OSU dorm building, meals, research materials, and geology swag costs for approximately 25 student attendees. Any amount, no matter how small, will help us towards our goal! THANK YOU: Thank you for your generosity in supporting GEO-REx. We are excited to have your support, and are looking forward to another successful GEO-REx program in Summer 2026. Thank you for your support - go Pokes!

Fall 2025-Travel for Undergraduate Research in Humanities and Art
By Center for the Humanities
Help undergraduate researchers in the Humanities and Arts travel to national conferences, archives, and museums!
Help undergraduate researchers in the Humanities and Arts travel to national conferences, archives, and museums! Center for the Humanities Help support undergraduate researchers in the Humanities and Arts! This grant program, first offered in Spring 2025, will allow undergraduates in the arts and humanities to travel to present their research at national conferences or to conduct original research at museums, libraries, and other archives. Our goal is to fund the travel of 5 undergraduate researchers each spring, increasing their ability to take advantage of such opportunities. This program will improve the visibility of research in the humanities and arts both on campus and nationally, and ensure greater involvement by undergraduate researchers from these vital and important disciplines. The benefits of such participation are significant, for both OSU and the students themselves. Students benefit from participating in such undergraduate research programs, building confidence and developing many skills that contribute to career readiness. They also raise the profile of OSU creative research when they attend such conferences. Unfortunately, the humanities and arts are underrepresented in campus-wide research programs for undergraduates such as the Freshmen Research Scholars and Wentz Research Scholars programs, which tend to be dominated by STEM fields. This new funding program would encourage more students in these less visible fields to participate in undergraduate research. While there are some small awards at OSU that cover conference fees and other expenses, those funds do not fully cover such trips, requiring students to seek out multiple sources of funding or pay out of pocket. We want to prevent a situation in which a student cannot take advantage of an opportunity due to lack of funds. OSU strongly encourages student researchers to participate in conferences at the national level; we believe that if this is truly a priority, such travel must be better supported. We want to celebrate the amazing contributions the humanities and arts make to improving the world, and to involve eager undergraduates in that important endeavor!

Fall 2025 - Cowboy Aphasia Camp 2026
By The Cowboy Aphasia Camp Team
Your donation supports OSU's graduate speech-language pathology students who are helping people with aphasia. Neurons Firing!!
Your donation supports OSU's graduate speech-language pathology students who are helping people with aphasia. Neurons Firing!! The Cowboy Aphasia Camp Team Butterflies will be the symbol for Cowboy Aphasia Camp 2026. They are like the brains of people with aphasia: resilient and changing. They are like the words of a person with aphasia: sometimes elusive. They are like the careers of OSU students: full of promise! Aphasia is the loss of language abilities, usually after stroke or similar brain injury. In rare cases, it can be an early sign of other progressive neurological disease. In all cases, aphasia steals a person’s words and can make it hard to express ideas verbally or through writing. It can also limit the ability to understand spoken and written words. Aphasia is NOT a loss of intelligence, but it does make it difficult for people to use words to show their competence, sense of humor, and identity. Cowboy Aphasia Camp is offered annually on the OSU-Tulsa campus. This event partners OSU graduate students in the Communication Sciences & Disorders Department and people with aphasia for a week of mutual learning. Activities include 1:1 conversational exchanges and computer-based treatment, group communication interactions, and holistic activities such as painting, music, and animal-assisted therapy. You might even catch us dancing, laughing, singing, and telling jokes! The National Aphasia Association estimates that close to 2 million people in the U.S. have aphasia. This makes aphasia more common than Parkinson’s disease, but a survey by the NAA in 2020 showed that most people were not familiar with aphasia or ways to help a person who has it. Your donation to Cowboy Aphasia Camp supports people with aphasia, and the OSU students who are learning to help them in their recovery journey. The funds are used for supplies, food (campers and students are hungry!), and other camp expenses. You are helping people with aphasia regain their identity, and you are helping OSU produce outstanding speech-language pathologists! Thank you for joining our team in this way!

Fall 2024 - Women in Aviation International Conference 2025
By OSU Women in Aviation
OSU’s Chapter of Women in Aviation International (WAI), The Home of the Flying Cowgirls, aspires to Encourage, Empower, and Educate our student membership.
OSU’s Chapter of Women in Aviation International (WAI), The Home of the Flying Cowgirls, aspires to Encourage, Empower, and Educate our student membership. OSU Women in Aviation Home of the Flying Cowgirls Oklahoma State University’s Chapter of Women in Aviation International (WAI), The Home of the Flying Cowgirls, aspires to Encourage, Empower, and Educate our student membership. Our Mission: OSU-WAI is committed to building relationships and getting women involved in aviation through community outreach, social events, and networking opportunities. As a 501(c)3, we are reliant on donors to help us Dream as Big as the Sky. What do we do? Community Outreach Whether it's through our website's blog, K-5 school program, volunteering around Stillwater or at the WAI annual Girls in Aviation Day event, OSU-WAI aims to diversify the aviation industry and is dedicated to serving the local aviation community. Networking As young professionals, this is the most critical point of our careers to network and connect because the aviation industry recognizes and emphasizes the split importance of both who you are, and who you know. Networking is our Chapter's second core value, and is something we promote through mentoring, attending the annual WAI Conference, and hosting guest speakers at our monthly meetings. Social Events Not only do we provide workshops for educational and professional development, but we love to just have FUN! WAI-OSU values the history and culture of aviation, and strives to foster an inclusive community for all aviation enthusiasts alike. The Conference - A Breakdown What & Why: A fundamental part of being a part of OSU-WAI includes attending the annual WAI Conference. Educational and Professional Development Seminars, Workshops, Scholarships, Keynote Speakers, the WAI Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, Industry Briefings, an Exhibit Hall – the Conference has it all. The WAI Conference offers unparalleled professional development and networking opportunities that extend beyond the classroom and flight deck. We strive to raise the 6% industry average of women in aviation, and the conference is where it starts for so many. The Home of the Flying Cowgirls was officially marked as a collegiate chapter and formally recognized by WAI in 2020. While we have worked hard over past years to build our chapter and alumni network, we need your help getting our members to the Conference. The Cost: With next year's Conference location being in Denver, CO, it costs approximately $1,600 for each student to attend. After budgeting for Conference registration, airfare, lodging, food, and other miscellaneous travel expenses, this exceeds the financial capabilities of our young WAI Chapter. . OSU-WAI sincerely thanks every donor for their help and contribution, and we wish you all blue skies and tailwinds

Spring 2024 - Wakeboard Team - New Club Boat
By OSU Wakeboard Club
Help the Wakeboard team fundraise for a new club boat!
Help the Wakeboard team fundraise for a new club boat! OSU Wakeboard Club We currently have a Moomba Boat, which has been an awesome boat and we are beyond grateful for it. However, this boat is approaching the end of its life. With the amount of hours we put on the boat, we will have some serious maintenance costs coming up shortly if we do not get into a new boat. The reason for getting a new boat instead of just fixing the Moomba, is that a new boat will have everything under warranty so we will not have to worry about the maintenance costs. This boat will also be much more reliable and we will not have to worry about the new boat dying on us. We recently got a quote to fix all of the things that are wrong with the Moomba, and that price came out to more than the boat is worth. Therefore, financially we will be driving the club into the ground due to the maintenance costs. This also prohibits our members from practicing due to the boat being out of commission for repairs.

Spring 2024 - OSU Polo Needs Your Help
By OSU Polo
Help OSU Polo fund their new arena for training and competitions!
Help OSU Polo fund their new arena for training and competitions! OSU Polo The OSU Polo Club consists of 40 members and 15 playing polo ponies. We offer students the opportunity of a lifetime where they can, with no riding experience, get on a horse and learn how to become a polo player. Students can show off their skills to their families and local community at club member matches which are hosted twice a semester. Members can even try out to be on our JV or Varsity Teams which travel regionally and nationally. The club provides all riding equipment for the students allowing the great sport of polo to be more accessible for all but we cannot do this without the generous contributions from our donors and sponsors. Our horses are cared for day and night by club members and officers. Without our furry pony friends, we would not have a club. We take delivery of about 2000 pounds of horse feed every four weeks, 5000 pounds of delicious hay every month during the winter and early spring seasons, and go through about 1600 gallons of water per week. The club currently hauls water with our truck about four to five times a week as our current property lacks running water. When caring for 15 horses, having running water is something super important. This is why we need your help to fundraise a new polo arena so we can move to our new facility. As this new arena will cost us $50,000, a small donation goes a long way as it gets us one step closer to our fundraising goal. We can't wait to have you be a part of this new and exciting chapter of OSU Polo with us. Please consider helping us reach our goal, give our ponies a new home, and give students a new facility that will last for years to come. We can't wait to see you at our next home game. GO POKES!

Spring 2024 - OSU Hockey Team

The Oklahoma State Hockey Team is looking for community support to get new equipment, uniforms, travel, and more to keep up with the growing program. Go Pokes! Oklahoma State Hockey The OSU Hockey Team is looking for 2024-2025 season sponsors. After bringing hockey back to Stillwater from a twenty-year hiatus, our most important goal is to build a legacy of OSU Hockey with the Oklahoma State community. Oklahoma State Hockey provides opportunities for students whether it be for networking, academic, professional, and/or athletic purposes. Officers, players, and coaches devote hours and hours of time to this team weekly. Our budget goals for the next season include purchasing new equipment, uniforms, travel for away trips, meals, and more. The program is continuously growing and we have some very exciting ideas for this next year. We are currently partnered with the Tulsa Oilers. The Oilers are an ECHL Team based out of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Our new home rink, the WeStreet Ice Center opened up on March 9th and this arena is replacing the old Oilers Ice Center. This is a 140,000 square-foot facility that also includes dining and other entertainment services. With this partnership, we are able to use the BOK Center in Tulsa to play games in such as Bedlam on Ice. We beat OU in front of 7,000 fans in 2023 and got the opportunity to play in front of 9,650 for the same event in 2024. Across our social media accounts, we have over 8,900 followers and are growing daily. For each home series, we had an attendance of over 700 people and expect it to trend upwards this next season as word spreads across the state. Financial support from the local community is essential to us. We rely on sponsorship donations to meet our budget requirements of $150,000 per season, as the university provides little funding for the team. Everyone in our program is a prime example of what it means to be Loyal and True. Please help us meet our goals by becoming a sponsor for the Oklahoma State Hockey Team! Follow us on social media!

The Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature is a mock legislature where universities from across the state compete in senate, house, moot and press competitions. O.I.L. Who are we? The OSU-OIL is the longest-standing student organization in the state of Oklahoma. Founded by past Oklahoma LG: George Nigh, OIL seeks to give a one-of-a-kind mock government experience through a hands-on legislative process, moot court competition, and press corps. Students of all majors, backgrounds, and political opinions are both welcomed and encouraged to compete. Students are given the opportunity to function as government professionals through a five-day competition held at the Oklahoma capital, competing individually and as a delegation against various other universities across Oklahoma. Following the success of winning "best delegation" in the Spring 2023 session, Oklahoma State University is returning with high hopes and great expectations. What are we raising funds for? The delegation will be traveling to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for "session". With this, the OSU delegation is sending 48 competing members, the largest of any delegation, and is seeking funds to cover transportation, hotel costs, registration costs, and capital renting costs. This is an excellent experience for students to see political operations in a different region and gain new knowledge regarding that production system. This contest also allows students to gain lasting connections with their peers who will become colleagues as they progress into their future careers. Thank you for your time and consideration! Thank you for choosing to support the OSU Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature. We cannot wait to update you as the students compete.

By OSU Running Club
Our project will grow our funds as a first-year club and help us establish a presence as an official sports club at OSU.
Our project will grow our funds as a first-year club and help us establish a presence as an official sports club at OSU. OSU Running Club The OSU Running Club is a sports club at Oklahoma State University founded to build a community around running. The leaders of the club recognized that there wasn't a running club officially registered at OSU two years ago, so we took the initiative to create our own. We are an organization aiming to give previous runners a team again and to help new runners start running. At our practices, we do workouts and recreational runs. Most of our runners also enter into 5K, 10K, Half-Marathon, or Marathon races. We provide snacks, team dinners, t-shirts, and other running gear to our runners. We also hope to cover race entry fees as the club grows. We appreciate the support you can give. Any amount benefits hard-working students just doing the sport they love.

Spring 2023 - OSU Crops Team
By OSU Crops Team
The Crops Team is a competitive team that provides skills and knowledge that students carry throughout their careers.
The Crops Team is a competitive team that provides skills and knowledge that students carry throughout their careers. OSU Crops Team Who are we? The OSU Crops Team has a legacy of nearly 100 years. Competitive teams throughout the University provide skills and knowledge that students carry throughout their careers. The Crops Team is very hands-on and teaches students various aspects, from classing grain samples according to USDA guidelines to calculating stocking rates based on pasture conditions. The team travels to various contests throughout the year, and we try to cover most travel and food costs for all students so that money is never a limiting reason for a student to attend. For many students, this may be their first experience traveling out of the state of Oklahoma or their first time participating in a national contest. What are we raising funds for? The team is traveling to Modesto, CA, this spring for a competitive academic contest. As the team prepares, we are seeking funding to offset the trip cost for the six competing students. Students will compete against students from agricultural schools across the United States. This is always an excellent experience for students to see agricultural operations in a different region and gain new knowledge regarding that production system. This contest also allows students to gain lasting connections with their peers that will become colleagues as they progress into their future careers. The funds raised allow students to gain these lifelong experiences without adding additional financial burden to their semester. Thank you for your time and consideration! Thank you for choosing to support the OSU Crops Team. We cannot wait to update you as the students compete.

The Oklahoma State Hockey Team is looking for community support to help with travel, equipment, and ice time expenses. Thank you and Go Pokes!
The Oklahoma State Hockey Team is looking for community support to help with travel, equipment, and ice time expenses. Thank you and Go Pokes! Oklahoma State Hockey Team The OSU Hockey Team is looking for 2023-2024 season sponsors. After bringing hockey back to Stillwater from a twenty-year hiatus, our most important goal is to build a legacy of OSU Hockey with the Oklahoma State community. Our budget goals for the next season include purchasing a new equipment for players, buses for away trips, hotels for travel, and other team related expenses. Recently we have partnered up with the Tulsa Oilers, the ECHL Team based out of Tulsa. Our new rink is currently located at the Oilers Ice Center in Tulsa, OK. By spring semester of next year, we will have a brand new 2,000 seat arena in Tulsa that will be our new home rink. Also, with this partnership we are able to use the BOK Center in Tulsa to play games in such as Bedlam on Ice, where we beat OU in front of 7,000 fans. Across our social media accounts, we have over 6,000 followers and are growing daily. For each home series, we had an attendance of over 700 people and expect it to grow next season as word spreads around Tulsa and Stillwater. Financial support from the local community is essential to us. We rely on sponsorship donations to meet our budget requirements of $150,000 per season, as the university provides little funding for the team. Please help us meet our goals by becoming a sponsor for the Oklahoma State Hockey Team! Follow us on social media! Facebook Instagram Twitter

Fall 2023 - Cowboy Aphasia Camp
By The Cowboy Aphasia Camp Team
Cowboy Aphasia Camp is an effort to prepare OSU's SLP students to help people conquer aphasia--the loss of communication after stroke or brain injury.
Cowboy Aphasia Camp is an effort to prepare OSU's SLP students to help people conquer aphasia--the loss of communication after stroke or brain injury. The Cowboy Aphasia Camp Team Try saying your full name backwards. Now imagine having to work that hard every time you need to order a meal in your favorite restaurant. Aphasia is like that. Imagine going to a foreign country where you recognize only a few words, and speak even fewer. Aphasia is like that. Aphasia is loss of language abilities, usually after stroke or similar brain injury. In rare cases, it can be an early sign of other progressive neurological disease. In all cases, aphasia steals a person’s words and can make it hard to express ideas verbally or through writing. It can also limit the ability to understand spoken and written words. Aphasia is NOT a loss of intelligence, but makes it hard for people to use words to show their competence, sense of humor, and identity. Cowboy Aphasia Camp is offered annually on the OSU-Tulsa campus. This event partners OSU graduate students in the Communication Sciences & Disorders department and people with aphasia for a week of mutual learning. Activities include 1:1 conversational exchanges and computer-based treatment, group communication interactions, and holistic activities such as painting, music, and animal-assisted therapy. Anything that gets people talking is fair game, including a Swear Jar! This is a week that gets Neurons Firing!The National Aphasia Association estimates that close to 2 million people in the U.S. have aphasia. This makes aphasia more common than Parkinson’s disease, but a survey by the NAA in 2020 showed that most people were not familiar with aphasia or ways to help a person who has it. Your donation to Cowboy Aphasia Camp supports people with aphasia, and the OSU students who are learning to help them in their recovery journey. The funds are used for supplies, food (campers and students are hungry!), and other camp expenses. You are helping people with aphasia regain their identity, and you are helping OSU produce outstanding speech-language pathologists! Thank you for considering us!

Our dedicated Pet Therapy teams are stationed in offices across campus, offering a warm, furry presence to students, faculty, and staff in need of a pick-me-up or support during stressful times. The daily presence of our P3 pups serves as a reassuring reminder that their well-being matters, and that they have a loyal friend ready to shower them with love and comfort. What sets P3 apart is that each therapy dog is part of the families of employees and other affiliates of OSU. They reside with their humans, spend time in OSU offices, and regularly visit various locations across the university, adding a touch of brightness to our beloved orange. This remarkable program has extended its reach beyond Stillwater to OSU-Tulsa, OSU Center for Health Sciences, OSU-Oklahoma City, and the OSU College of Osteopathic Medicine Cherokee Nation in Tahlequah—the nation’s first tribally-affiliated medical school.
