Giveaway finalist: Oklahoma City Orchestra League

[The following content was provided by The Oklahoma City Orchestra League. Cast your vote for The Oklahoma City Orchestra League or check out our other finalists on our finalists page.]

The Oklahoma City Orchestra League recently celebrated 60 years of supporting orchestral music in Oklahoma City. Throughout those years, the 300+ members of the OCOL have provided award-winning music education programs for the schools of Central Oklahoma and provided key support for the success of the Oklahoma Symphony Orchestra and the Oklahoma City Philharmonic. With a $0 based budget, the OCOL has directed every available "dime" to the fulfillment of their mission. The money they raise through their major projects, "Symphony Show House" and "Note-able Occasions," goes to support the 16 different educational programs they present for the benefit of the OKC community. 

Each year, 65 area schools participate in the "We've Got Rhythm" program that introduces children to musical instruments and classical music. The children in these schools plus thousands more attend the Philharmonic Youth Concerts each year -- all with the support of the OCOL. Over the last 60 years, the OCOL has endeavored to touch every child in OKC with at least one opportunity to learn about orchestral music.   People of all ages benefit from the programs of the OCOL. From suppers for the orchestra musicians to lessons for adult beginner violin students, the OCOL is bringing the joy of music to the people of Central Oklahoma through the dedication and hard work of their volunteer force.

The OCOL would benefit from an organizational website because it needs to improve communications among its members, improve its recruiting methods so it can get back on a path of growth, and develop online marketing to increase the success of its fundraising projects.

The Oklahoma City Orchestra League does not currently have a website.

I have worked on various programs for the Orchestra League for many years. They are one of the best organized groups I have ever been affiliated with, and they also have the most dedicated volunteers possible. Their work in the community, both to benefit the Philharmonic Orchestra, and to educate students of all ages is phenominal. My vote is certainly for this hard-working group!
