Dear ____________,

I hope by now you've heard about #TrueBlueOCU Giving Day! It's an exciting time for the entire OCU community to come together to show our support of the University. I made my gift as part of the Giving Day campaign, #TrueBlueOCU, and I hope you will join me in making one, too.

I invested in OCU because of the wonderful experience I had at a pivotal time in my life. To make your gift, visit www.okcu.edu/givingday or call 405.208.7000.

Thank you in advance for showing your OCU pride by supporting students, programs and research through your gift and your advocacy.

Sincerely, YOUR NAME

Phone Talking Points

Below are a few talking points we've created for you. But remember, you know your fellow OCU classmates and alumni better than we ever could, so share your story and ask them to support OCU on this special day.

  • Gifts made for #TrueBlueOCU count for more than on any other day in 2021, because this is a grassroots effort to increase awareness of OCU and to build donor support.
  • Gifts can be made online at www.okcu.edu/givingday or by calling 405.208.7000.
  • Encourage them to increase their gift over last year.
  • If they have never given before, encourage them to give at their "class level." For example, a graduate of 2008 could give $20.08 or a graduate of 1975 might give $19.75 or $75.
  • Thank them for their continued support whether they give or not.
