We’re excited to participate in this year’s State Charitable Campaign (SCC) for the first time as Service Oklahoma! October is packed with opportunities to give back, have fun and enjoy some friendly competition—all in support of meaningful causes that help communities across our state.
About the State Charitable Campaign
Since 1989, the State Charitable Campaign (SCC) has empowered state employees to support over 250 charitable organizations across Oklahoma. These organizations provide essential services like meals, educational programs, medical care and disaster relief to the most vulnerable members of our communities.
At Service Oklahoma, being neighborly is one of our core values—giving back to our communities is part of who we are. Through the SCC, we have the opportunity to make a direct impact where we live and work. When you donate, you can feel confident knowing your contribution supports a vetted organization, and you can even choose to direct your donation to a specific organization or district that matters most to you. If you’re new to the SCC or want to learn more about the 250+ organizations involved, you can find additional information here.
What's Happening at Service Oklahoma
Throughout the rest of the month, we’ve got a fun lineup of events designed to make giving back fun and rewarding! Here’s what to look forward to:
-
Online Auction & Raffle: Bid on themed baskets, or try your luck by purchasing raffle tickets for exciting prizes—like a $100 Amazon gift card, a VIP parking spot at HQ or the chance to pie a leader!
-
Change for Change Competition: Collect spare change and see which region can raise the most! The winning team will enjoy a sweet reward with an ice cream party.
-
Blood Drive: Roll up your sleeves and give back in a different way by participating in the blood drive. Each donation helps us make a tangible difference in our community.
How You Can Get Involved
We’ve designed Service Oklahoma’s SCC participation to ensure there’s a way for everyone to take part in a way that’s meaningful to them. Here’s how you can give back:
-
Make a Direct Donation: Consider making a pledge to support the campaign! Even a small contribution can make a big impact.
-
Send Spooky High Fives: Spread Halloween cheer with a Spooky High Five! For a small donation, you can send your colleagues a spooky skeleton hand and a personalized high five while supporting the SCC.
-
Participate in Events: Whether you bid in the auction, join in the raffle or donate your spare change, your participation helps make a real difference!
Let's Make and Impact Together
Mark your calendars, and keep an eye out for more details on how you can get involved. We’ll be sharing reminders and updates throughout the campaign, both through email and on the SOK Intranet, to ensure everyone stays connected and engaged.
If you have questions about the campaign or how you can get involved, reach out to our Employee Engagement Manager, Alicia Merrick at alicia.merrick@service.ok.gov. Together, let’s make our first SCC at Service Oklahoma one to remember, and show our community how much we care!
