Through strategic partnerships (with local families, faith, education, business and government) the Owasso Character Council provides resources and opportunities for individuals and organizations to discover and celebrate those qualities of character that make our community a great place to live.

The always inspiring Owasso Football Coach Bill Blankenship was the guess speaker at today’s luncheon, and enlightened guests on the #RiseUp movement of the Owasso Rams, what it means and its connection to character. Blankenship, a native Oklahoman, lead our Rams to become the 2017 Class 6A-1 State Champion Football Team. Coach Blankenship incorporates character training you can see in the way his teams play and the impact he has had throughout his career.
Each year, one citizen of Owasso receives the Jim McElrath award, named after the late founder of the Owasso Character Council. Today’s recipient was John Cash, owner of Trial End BBQ, for always giving selflessly to the needs of groups, organizations and individuals in Owasso.
Character matters. It doesn’t happen by accident, but by a deliberate decision to invest our time, attention and resources to strengthen those values that make our community great.
