“Sooners Helping Sooners positively impacts the lives of former University of Oklahoma student-athletes and their families by providing opportunities for personal development, education and rewarding career paths,” reads the mission statement of Sooners Helping Sooners. That can be help with job contacts, education, addiction rehab or even something as simple as interviewing advice. 

Dear Coach Pettibone and Coach.O’Neal,

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the impact Sooners Helping Sooners has had on my life and on the Moses family. From my time in Truck Driving School to working in the oil field, Sooners Helping Sooners has always been a steady presence and a source of strength for us. Your support has helped carry my family through different seasons of our journey, and your encouragement has consistently uplifted us. Because of people like you Coach Pettibone, Coach Oneal and an organization like Sooners Helping Sooners having living out the vision of Jankie Sanderfer I was able to keep going, keep working, and keep believing that better opportunities were ahead. Today, I am proud to share that I am a 7th grade Social Studies teacher and coach at Royal Junior High School in Brookshire, Texas. Every day I step into my classroom and onto the field, I carry with me the values of hard work, service, and perseverance that you helped reinforce in my life. The investment you made in me and my family continues to ripple out into the lives of the students I serve. Thank you for always being a part of the Moses family story. Your kindness, leadership, and commitment to helping others have truly made a difference, and we are forever grateful.

With heartfelt appreciation, Bubba Moses & The Moses Family
