“We help kids realize their purpose and potential by building and maintaining athletic fields across oklahoma's largest school district. After connecting the dots between the poor conditions of many athltic fields in the oklahoma city public schools (okcps) school district and the district's below-national-average rates for sports participation and graduation, fields & futures was created in 2012 with a singular aspiration: to put more okcps students on the path to graduation by constructing state-fof-the-art athletic fields and creating a district-wide culture of sports participation. With approximately 40,000 students, more than 8 out of 10 of which are economically disadvantaged, oklahoma city public schools is oklahoma's largest school district. By focusing our efforts on the students, school, and communities served by okcps, we believe we can ignite lasting social change that impacts oklahoma city for years to come. Since our first project at jefferson middle school in 2012, we have completed 35 athletic fields, 23 courts, and 7 asphalt tracks at 18 different okcps campuses. In addition, we assume the financial and logistical responsibility of providing comprehensive, ongoing maintenance at every improved site so that none of our fields ever fall back into disrepair. The results can't be ignored. By building and maintaining improved facilities for okcps, we are bulding better students, beter leaders, and a better future for oklahoma city.”
