Donor support like this makes all the difference in the ability of the ORPC to continue offering educational awards. Check out those who helped and consider making an annual gift yourself. You'll like the way it feels to make a difference in the lives of Oklahoma's young women promoting rodeo and the western way of life.
2023 Pageant Entries Closed April 11

In Loving Memory of Jack J. Wells, 1942-2019
|
oWestern artist Jack J. Wells and his wife, Alice, have been longtime supporters of the Miss Rodeo Oklahoma program, providing Jack's prints for the annual raffle and creating an original framed portrait for each Miss Rodeo Oklahoma. Jack even walked away with the crown once as "Mister Rodeo Oklahoma." Most importantly, they encouraged contestants, supported the organization and its volunteers and became our friends. Donations in Jack's memory may be designated to the ORPC and will be applied toward a Jack J. Wells scholarship.
