🏀🌎 The support for Olustee's new basketball court is crossing state lines! 🌎🏀

We're excited to recognize some incredible supporters who believe in this project, even from hundreds of miles away!

A huge THANK YOU to:
📍 Esse Brooks from New Hampshire
📍 Terry & Pam Cook from Ohio

Their generosity is helping us move one step closer to giving our community a safe, modern place for kids and families to play, gather, and make memories.

It means so much to see
people from outside Oklahoma investing in a small town they may never have visited. That's proof that good things happening in a small community can inspire support from all across the country. 🇺🇸

Every donation, whether it's from down the street or across the nation, brings us closer to our goal.
Olustee may be small, but our support network is growing nationwide! 🖤🏀

🏀💙 COMMUNITY STRONG 💙🏀
A huge shoutout to the Booker Foundation for stepping up and investing in the future of Olustee!

We are incredibly grateful for their generous $500 donation toward our new community basketball court project. Every dollar brings us one step closer to replacing our aging court with a safe, modern space where kids, teens, and families can gather, play, and make memories for years to come.

It takes a village to build something special, and today we're celebrating a foundation that believes in small-town communities and the power of giving back. 🏀

Thank you, Booker Foundation, for helping turn this dream into reality. Your support is making a lasting impact on the next generation of Olustee.

🏀 COMMUNITY UPDATE 🏀

We are excited to share that we have officially reached 20% of our $25,000 goal for the new Olustee basketball court!

So far, thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, we have collected $5,000 toward this project. Every dollar brings us one step closer to providing a safe and enjoyable place for our kids, families, and community members to gather and play.

The Olustee Events Committee would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to every business, family, and individual who has donated so far. Your support means more than you know.

We also want everyone to know that donations aren't just for businesses. Individuals, families, former residents, and anyone who believes in this project are welcome to contribute. Whether it's $25, $50, or $500, every donation matters and makes a difference.

We're not asking one person to fund the entire project. We're asking our community and friends to come together, one donation at a time, to build something that will benefit generations of Olustee kids.

Thank you for helping us turn this vision into reality! 🖤
