NAMI OKC Presents Thank You Card

One of the primary reasons for the existence of the FSCOK is to provide resources for charitable contributions within the State of Oklahoma.  Over the course of its history, SoonerCon has contributed to several Oklahoma charities and causes.

Here’s an overview of SoonerCon’s community support since SoonerCon 1 in 1986:

To raise funds for our selected charities, FSCOK puts on several different events.  While our primary event, SoonerCon, raises funds through its charity auction, it also contributes a portion of the membership proceeds. We also have other charity-dedicated events, such as gaming days, whose proceeds are used to boost the contribution amount for the year.

Want to donate to support FSCOK? We accept monetary gifts throughout the year to support FSCOK’s operations and community outreach, as well as collector’s items donated for our annual charity auction event at SoonerCon. Email info@fscok.org for more details.
