STILLWATER, Okla. —
A total of $5,000 was raised to benefit the Oklahoma WONDERtorium thanks to the contributions from participants of the 2010 Mighty Bullnanza golf tournament which took place recently at the Stillwater Country Club.
The event is a philanthropic tournament that benefits a worthy cause each year.
“The recipient of our philanthropy this year is the Oklahoma WONDERtorium,” said Rex Horning, host of the tournament. “This organization is led and promoted by the most dedicated group I have ever seen. The Oklahoma WONDERtorium has taken the important concept of early childhood learning to a new level, the time and effort these folks have dedicated to help the growth of all children in Stillwater and Payne County is extraordinary.”
Travis Ford, Oklahoma State University men’s basketball coach, signed basketballs and ball caps as prizes and stepped in as a celebrity putter on the third hole. For additional donations from participants, Ford made one putt for each team and posed for a team photo.
Ruth Cavins, OWL executive director, said “we are thankful and appreciative of the gracious participants who played in support of the WONDERtorium.”
“These gentlemen took play-to-learn to a whole new level. Mighty Bullnanza 2010 was such a fun event, and certainly kept in rhythm with the Museum’s mission of learning through play for a lifetime. The amazing bulls were thoughtfully generous of their time and money on this day of play,” said Cavins.
The Oklahoma WONDERtorium is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to build a children’s museum for north central Oklahoma. Over the past four years 12,629 children have participated in Museum Without Walls programs offered free by the Oklahoma WONDERtorium. Business offices are located at 1601 S. Main (Head Start Bldg.), Stillwater, Oklahoma, 74074.
