Childers Middle School teacher Sarah Martin stated that this was the school's culminating event for their food drive. They filled 140 crates full of food. The kids also brought in 88 frozen turkeys for the Thanksgiving baskets. This is the fourth year for the Dead Turkey Cup. So far, the school has donated over 8,000 food items, and more than 500 turkeys to Broken Arrow Neighbors.

The team stated they enjoyed hanging out with the kids, and that they enjoy having a bond with the Tulsa community. The team likes being able to go to schools and read to students. O'Kane also said, it's not just important to the kids, but important to their organization as well.
