All Sports & Scholar Athlete Awards

The Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame receives annual feedback from local organizations like the Oklahoma Chapter of Former NFL Players Association, Oklahoma Chapter of the National Football Foundation, Oklahoma Coaches Association and Oklahoma Soccer Coaches Association, to distinguish talented and scholastic student athletes and exceptional coaches to honor.

The annual All Sports and Scholar Athletes Awards Luncheon is hosted solely by the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame and takes place each year in Oklahoma City.

Over two dozen high school students are honored and recognized annually for their athletic accomplishments and academic achievements, as well as one high school football coach and one college football coach for their respective awards. We are honored to place a spotlight on the outstanding talent in the State of Oklahoma.

The Red Ribbon Campaign is the oldest and largest drug prevention program in the nation, reaching millions of young people during "Red Ribbon Week," practiced each year in the month of October, from October 23rd-31st.

The Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame partners with the Red Ribbon Campaign and National Family Partnership as an Oklahoma Affiliate to initiate state-wide programming to Oklahoma public and private schools.

The mission of the Red Ribbon Campaign is to present a unified and visible commitment towards the creation of a DRUG - FREE AMERICA.

Our goal for the Red Ribbon Campaign in Oklahoma is to reach as many adolescents as possible and to teach schoolchildren about the harmful effects of drug abuse and the many negative effects drugs can have on their lives, while providing support and a foundation for healthy living.

Our partnership with the Red Ribbon Campaign reaches 2,078 Oklahoma Public Schools and 120 Oklahoma Private Schools, with an average of over 715,000 Oklahoma schoolchildren each year and growing.

The Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame provides every public school on the OSDE Site Directory, as well as, every Oklahoma private educational institution (as of 2018), an annual Red Ribbon Campaign Guidebook. All assembly, printing, shipping and postage of the Guidebooks are done in-house and paid for by donations only.

Upon receiving these guidebooks, every student has the opportunity to sign a pledge to be drug, alcohol and tobacco free, and those who choose to do so, will receive a Certificate of Recognition at the end of the school year.

The Children's Corner is a sports themed, interactive area geared toward children and families. It is based on the aspects of health and fitness, learning through play, and interactive engagement.

Area I

A table display where museum visitors can touch and manipulate sports equipment; such as, football helmets, wooden baseball bats and a variety of sports balls that will be halved to show the inner workings. Videos of the assembly process for each object will be played on a screen as a visual aid and learning tool. The goal is to provide a tactile and engaging learning area that enhances and engages the logical and physical learning styles.

Area II
A basketball themed skill testing area. Graphics of various basketball players will be on the wall to measure height, vertical jump, wingspan and size of hand compared to a basketball. As our main feature of this area, museum guests can test their athletics skills by jumping as high as they can to measure their vertical jump.

Area III
A recreation of a locker room. This area will have three lockers, dedicated to three professional sports team in Oklahoma City: OKC Dodgers, OKC Thunder and OKC Energy FC. In this area, museum guests will be able to try on actual game jerseys from each team. It will be designed as a dress up corner that allows guests to envision themselves as their favorite sports star.
