Recently, during the 2025 Special Olympics Oklahoma State Summer Games in Stillwater, REC sent three volunteers who helped with the event. REC’s employees joined 25 other Oklahoma electric cooperatives in sending 155 volunteers for this three-day event.

REC sent Senior Mechanic Jacob Trammell, Journeyman Line Worker Trey Schwabe and Journeyman Line Worker Grant Rogers. While they where volunteering their time, these employees helped on the track by keeping time for timed events, encouraging the participants and handing out placements for the participants after the completion of their event. 

This year there were more than 5,000 athletes participated in the summer games. Out of all the registered athletes 1,551 competed in track and field events.
