Oklahoma officials, pork producers and supporters participated in the third annual #GiveAHam challenge. Despite the curveballs 2020 threw at us, we remained resilient in showing our unwavering support for local communities across the state.
The final number of donated hams, HAMburger meat, and ground sausage was incredible! 27 generous pork supporters donated 257 hams, 45 pounds of hamburger meat and 5,000 pounds of ground sausage to local organizations and families in need this holiday season.
okPORK board president Dottie King kicked off the 2020 challenge by challenging Gov. Kevin Stitt to #GiveAHam. He then challenged Sec. of Agriculture Blayne Arthur, who challenged Roy Lee Lindsey, and we were off to the races.
Among those who participated in the 2020 #GiveAHam Challenge are: Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt, Oklahoma Secretary of Agriculture Blayne Arthur, Ag Broadcaster Ron Hays, Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association, all members of the okPORK Board of Directors; Blue & Gold Sausage, former okPORK board president Cathy Vaughn, Mountain View Meat Company, Freedom Processing, Hemingway’s Social Club & Neighborhood Bar, Shattuck All-Stars cheer squad, four Oklahoma farmers and ranchers and two other Oklahomans who care.
okPORK sends a heartfelt THANK YOU to the many generous participants in this year’s #GiveAHam Challenge.
This year, especially, you all demonstrated the Oklahoma Standard. Start thinking of who you want to donate your ham to for the 2021 challenge!
Governor Kevin Stitt and Secretary of Agriculture Blayne Arthur #GiveAHam.
