UCO Campaign Names Record Goal
With Dramatic Kick-Start Results
Having never dared to dream so big in the fundraising arena,
the campus was elated in late September when the UCO
Foundation announced the kickoff of a comprehensive $40
million campaign with $30.4 million already raised!
UCO President Don Betz, Ph.D., announced the fundraising
totals at an evening event Sept. 25 in the Grand Ballroom of
the Nigh University Center. During the announcement, he
referenced a Nelson Mandela quote displayed on campus: It
is impossible until it is done. “We know now that not only is
it possible, but almost complete,” Betz told the celebratory
crowd.
“We are the University of Central Oklahoma, and we have
stepped up. World, here we come,” he added.
Called the Always Central campaign, the $40 million fund-raising
effort is intended to support scholarships, teaching,
innovative programming and facilities, and to offer op-tions
for future planned giving. Plans include funding the
CHK|Central Boathouse on the Oklahoma River’s “Boat-house
Row.” Funds also are being raised for the completion
of Central’s Old North, the oldest building constructed for
higher education in the state that sits in need of $6 million to
finish its interior space.
Always Central campaign co-chairs are Central alumni Mar-tha
Burger, senior vice president of human and corporate
resources at Chesapeake Energy, and the husband-wife team
of Lee and Sherry Beasley. Lee Beasley, D.D.S., is president
of Endodontics Associates, while Sherry Beasley is president
of Interior Images Inc.
“We know that by harnessing the generosity of our alumni
and friends in an unprecedented way, we will be able to
realize a brilliant future once unimagined,” President Betz
later said. “Together, we are creating opportunities we never
thought possible.”

At the Sept. 25 kickoff of the Always Central campaign, UCO President Don Betz announces to cheers and applause that $30.4 million
has been raised toward a $40 million fundraising goal, the most daring in Central history.
