The Oklahoma Rodeo Pageants Council is an organization with a rich history of volunteerism and support that takes many different forms. For nearly seven decades, the organization has helped with the development of Oklahoma's young women, making positive impressions and changing lives. For those who come to get involved in the organization and know these young women, it becomes a labor of love. Usually the volunteers are impacted as greatly as the program participants. The ORPC is proud to recognize difference makers in several different ways. Among the special awards are:
Oklahoma Rodeo Pageants Council Hall of Fame
ORPC Best of the West Awards
The Jack Wells Memorial Volunteer of the Year Award

The Jack Wells Memorial Volunteer of the Year Award
Western artist Jack J. Wells and his wife, Alice, were 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. After Jack passed away in 2019, this award was established in his memory to honor someone who exemplifies a heart of giving and unwavering commitment to the MRO Scholarship Program.
