The event, held at the National WWII Museum’s U.S. Freedom Pavilion Boeing Center in New Orleans, was open to all Oklahoma Baptists in addition to OBU alumni. It was sponsored by the OBU Alumni Association, WatersEdge (formerly The Baptist Foundation of Oklahoma) and Oklahoma Baptists.

“It was a great partnership between these entities to bring all Oklahoma Baptists together,” said Lee Ann Quirk, director of the OBU Alumni Association, who spoke at the event.

Heath A. Thomas, OBU president, and Todd Fisher, executive director-treasurer of Oklahoma Baptists, also spoke.

The Bollinger Canopy of Peace, which stands above the museum at 148 feet tall, was lit up in green and gold in honor of OBU’s event that evening.
