The 2018 Charles W. Graham Travel Study Dinner Benefit drew a record-breaking crowd, with over 160 guests gathering at the Petroleum Club in downtown Oklahoma City for an evening of fine dining and networking. Throughout the evening, which raised close to $15,000 in support of student travel experiences, students shared stories about how travel has shaped their studies. We would like to thank the event’s generous sponsors, including W&W Steel (Foundation Sponsor), ACME Brick and Hans and Torrey Butzer (Framing Level Sponsors), and CMS Willowbrook Construction Management and Nabholz Construction Services (Finishing Trim Sponsors), as well as the many individual donors who sponsored student tickets to the event.

Save the Date for the 2019 Charles W. Graham Dinner Benefit, which is tentatively scheduled for Friday, Feb. 8, 2019.
