Soonercon 31 Charity Partner

Bridges of Norman
Bridges of Norman is a charity organization that assists students by removing barriers to graduation. Bridges helps students by providing food, clothing, shelter, and assisting with medical needs. Students also receive counseling in life skills and have advocates to help them graduate. There is currently no other program in the Norman area duplicating these services, and because Bridges students are not in the juvenile justice or child welfare systems, without help they would fall through the cracks.

Soonercon has Supported Charity Organizations Since 1986

Sooneron is organized by the Future Society of Central Oklahoma, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Our organization’s vision is to “learn from the past; work together today; build a welcoming tomorrow.” Part of how we accomplish that vision is by supporting other charity organizations.

Helping youth in need is once again the theme for this year’s charitable giving. There will be opportunities to support our charity partner throughout the convention weekend, including our charity auction, tabletop gaming tournaments, and more.

Interested in donating item(s) for the charity auction? Contact the Charity Auction director using the button at the bottom of the page, or send an email to charity@soonercon.com.
