EDMOND, Okla. - With Oklahoma Christian Athletics' Day of Giving one week away, we take a look at just a few of the many student-athletes' lives who have been affected for the good by OC and, by extension, by our fans and supporters' faithful generosity. When you give to Oklahoma Christian, you are partnering with OC to help create these moments and experiences that will stick with these young men and women far beyond their collegiate years, as well as open windows of opportunity for future Eagles.

Through this experience, I've grown so much in my faith and have met incredible people along the way - something that wouldn't have been possible if God hadn't placed me at Oklahoma Christian." - Jill Dickson, Softball
"Here I found a home away from home, where God has placed incredible people in my life. I thank God for bringing me here and for the opportunity to be part of the soccer team.
