Had the honor of attending the Fraternal Order of the Eagles, State Banquet where CASA of Northeast Oklahoma received a check for $16,391.26. This amount is the proceeds from all of the fundraising events held during 2025 by the members of the Oklahoma State Fraternal Order of the Eagles Auxiliary. CASA of Northeast Oklahoma was selected by Debbie McSperritt as her cause for her year as Auxiliary President.

"I can't express enough what an honor it was for Mark Ogle and I to be able to attend the Oklahoma Fraternal Order of the Eagles Banquet and having the opportunity to meet so many great people. A special thank you to Debbie McSperritt, Frank Rowe and his wife, and also Otis Davenport, who was camera shy when it came time to take a photo with Pistol Pete. He is an OU fan.
