Bright Sky Ministry's Mission: To provide essentials to foster and kinship families in need in Oklahoma
In 2021, Bright Sky Ministry assisted over 800 children in obtaining the essential items they needed, including car seats, beds, mattresses, diapers, formula, personal hygiene items, and clothing. We purchase these items new and ship them all across the state of Oklahoma. This has proven extremely beneficial to families who live in rural towns and/or are underserved by local resources. In 2022, we continue to grow and are on track to assist over 1,500 foster children with essentials. We will purchase over $200,000 worth of essential items to ship directly to foster families.
A donation of $150 provides one foster child with the essentials they need to feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
In order to meet the continued increase in need, our fundraising goal for 2022 is $250,000. We need to raise $30,000 at the 2022 Turkey Trot to help meet this goal! We can only do this with your help and generosity! Make a difference in a foster child's life.
The need is here. Help us meet it!

HOW TO DONATE:
1. Some of our Piedmont Turkey Trot participants have set up individual fundraisers as "charity runners." This means that the runner has agreed to raise money on our behalf! Runners will then be eligible for AMAZING gifts based on the amount of money raised. If you'd like to contribute through a specific charity runner's fundraising page, search for the runner's name and continue the donation process.

2. Skip the search bar and simply choose a level of donation (or enter "other" amount) to donate directly to the race.
NOTE: All donations - whether through an individual charity runner's fundraising page or on this page - will go directly to Bright Sky Ministry for foster children in Oklahoma. You are not donating directly toward a runner.
