OKC Thunder Teams Up with Urban League for Final Registration Drive

Depending on which entrance drivers used to enter the roundabout driveway to the Urban League on Sunday afternoon, they were greeted with either the rat-a-tat of the Thunder Drummers or the thumping bass of a Perry Broadcasting DJ booth. Either way, they were in for a fun treat as the sights and sounds of the Thunder’s final voter registration drive came into full view.

The Thunder partnered with the Urban League of Greater Oklahoma City (Oklahoma City, OK) for its last voter registration event before the Oct. 9 deadline. Without ever leaving their cars, people could drive up to the booth and pick up a clear Thunder bag filled with everything necessary to register to vote­ – a voter registration form and a pre-stamped and addressed envelope for simple mailing. The bag also included free Thunder VOTE T-shirts and a box of face masks.

“Urban League has been a really wonderful partner with the Thunder for literally since the very beginning. They're also an NBA partner, and a voting initiative is something that's very important to them as well so this was just a no brainer to be here,” said Thunder Vice President of Community Relations Christine Berney. “We knew from the beginning that we wanted to do one of our community registration drives at the site.”
