In addition to its ongoing programs, OK hosts events like the Annual David Hislop Memorial Golf
Tournament. This year, the tournament will be held on Saturday, June 8th, 2024, at Fescue’s Edge Golf Club. It’s not just a day of golf; it’s an opportunity to celebrate the life and legacy of David Hislop, a kindhearted mentor who believed in the power of youth outreach. All proceeds from the event will support OK’s mission to empower young people through mentorship and trade education.
