The Diamond Hats organization proudly promotes the youth of Oklahoma
as they pursue their agricultural endeavors. Women from all parts of the state are united in an effort to elevate youth in agriculture. Fundraising efforts result in scholarship opportunities, mentoring programs, and contributions to their projects.
Of primary interest in the support of Oklahoma youth in agriculture is the Oklahoma Youth Expo, the "World's Largest Junior Livestock Show". Animals are purchased and scholarships are given to the young people.
2005 was the start-up year for the Diamond Hats. Twenty-eight members joined, and through fundraising efforts,
were able to raise nearly $15,000!
Since our initial year, the Diamond Hats has only continued to grow in membership and contributions made to Oklahoma's agricultural youth.
Mission

To elevate the high quality of youth in agriculture and their value to Oklahoma communities and business.
Purpose
To ensure that Oklahoma youth are prepared to be future leaders of business in Oklahoma.
Having recently learned of this organization, I have taken it upon myself to donate something to this wonderful cause. Having been a student involved in agriculture myself, and continue to do so to this day, I realize the importance of having those scholarships available to continue preparing the youth of our great nation and great state of OKLAHOMA to be future leaders.
Here is the item I will be donating to this year's ball:
I can't decide if I want to donate an OSU necklace too...
I'll let ya know!
-Have a great week
