Foundation of former OU quarterback Josh Heupel hosts fundraiser at OU-Texas A&M game Saturday

Volunteers from Josh Heupel’s 14 Foundation, a non-profit organization aimed at helping Oklahoma youth, were located outside of the OU-Texas A&M football game Saturday collecting donations for their annual effort to provide local families with Thanksgiving dinners this holiday season.

The organization has grown each year since its creation in 2001 and hopes to build on last year’s total of $27,000 raised, said Dawn Heupel, 14 Foundation coordinator.

As part of the program, OU football players will be personally delivering the food to needy families, said Heupel.

OU students interested in getting involved in the program can fill out a volunteer form here.

"We are trying to help as many families as we can this year and rely heavily on community support," said Heupel.

Donations can be made out to:
