Each year, local Ducks Unlimited chapters hold grassroots fundraising events to support the organization’s habitat conservation mission.  Recent successful Oklahoma projects through DU’s Southern Prairies and Playas Initiative include work on Drummond Flats and Waurika wildlife management areas (WMAs).  DU and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation made improvements on these public habitats to provide critical stopover and refueling habitats for waterfowl and improve public hunting opportunities. 

 

Ticket prices are as follows:  $15 (OSU Student w/ ID), $50 (OSU Student w/ Parent), $45 (Single), $75 (Couple), $275 (Sponsor Couple), $500 (Party Table of 8) and include dinner and a 1-year membership to Ducks Unlimited.  There will be raffles for various hunting products as well as a silent and live auction.  This event is for the whole family! 

 

If you are interested in attending the fundraising event and dinner, please visit: www.ok.ducks.org to purchase tickets, or they can be purchased at the door.  If you are interested in becoming a corporate sponsor, please contact Jared Cullison at 405-334-1072.  Purchase your tickets online by June 20th to be entered in a drawing for a K2 20-quart cooler.
