Every year in August, Oklahoma Baptist Homes for Children (OBHC) hosts three annual Style Show Dinner Events across the state. The purpose of these Style Shows is to create awareness and support for children in the care of OBHC as they go back to school. With the money raised, a special fund is set up to provide the yearly clothing and other basic needs for their campuses. This event creates revenue through individual sponsorships, business sponsorships, reserved tables, and group fundraising through our paper and online goal sheets program

The Outfit a Child campaign is a virtual fundraising initiative for the Back-to-School Style Show. This campaign, also known as the paper doll goal sheet program, allows people to register as individuals or teams and virtually fund raise in their own way while still helping impact the lives of children and families in the care of Oklahoma Baptist Homes for Children.
OUTFIT A CHILDOBHC is the largest provider of private, not-for-profit, residential childcare in the state. We are an affiliate of the Oklahoma Baptists and is funded through the generosity of individuals, businesses as well as gifts from Southern Baptist churches through offerings and the Cooperative Program.
OBHC serves more than 200 at-risk children and families on four campus locations across the state. OBHC provides not only for their physical needs, but also their emotional, educational and spiritual needs. Each campus provides unique opportunities, programs and services. Campuses include:

Directly supported by Edmond’s First, Boys Ranch Town serves boys between the ages of 7 and 18. This campus is a full working ranch where boys have the opportunity to learn horseback riding and caring for livestock, among a variety of recreational and educational programs. Children live in a safe, family-style environment with other children and married, Christian house parents.
