It’s not too late to help us help others during the Beer, Wine and Gift Card Pull! OML is partnering with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma to help raise money and awareness of their efforts to assist Oklahoma families by providing food to them.
All you have to do to be a part of this special project is provide craft beer, wine or gift cards from retail businesses or restaurants to the conference. And, you can also purchase the ‘pulls’ and participate in the fun!!
If you are a business and donate your beer, wine, or gift card, your company’s name will appear in our event program, in the event app, and on the event website.
