Support Brian's Legacy
Your support helps keep Brian's name connected to remembrance, education, opportunity and the continuing work of the Brian Crawford Memorial.
There are several ways to participate in Brian's continuing legacy: support the broader Memorial directly through TXT2GIVE, contribute to the endowed Brian Crawford Memorial Scholarship Fund administered by Communities Foundation of Oklahoma, or help preserve Brian's story by sharing a memory or photograph.
The person behind the Memorial—and the reason the mission continues.
Support the continuing Memorial mission.
TXT2GIVE is the established direct-giving system for the Brian Crawford Memorial.
Direct Memorial support helps sustain the broader legacy work carried forward in Brian's name. This giving path is separate from the endowed scholarship fund administered by Communities Foundation of Oklahoma.
Give from your phone.
Text GIVE to (405) 266-2513 and follow the giving instructions sent to your phone.
Use the secure TXT2GIVE page.
Online contributions to the broader Brian Crawford Memorial can be made through the Memorial's established TXT2GIVE giving page.
Giving distinction: Direct Memorial contributions and contributions to the endowed Brian Crawford Memorial Scholarship Fund are separate giving paths. Choose the option that matches the purpose you want to support.
Support the Brian Crawford Memorial Scholarship Fund.
The Brian Crawford Memorial Scholarship Fund is administered through Communities Foundation of Oklahoma.
The scholarship tradition began with a family-funded inaugural award in 2015. The permanent fund was formally established in 2016 to create a long-term financial vehicle for higher-education support in Brian's name.
Contributions intended specifically for the scholarship should be made through the official Communities Foundation of Oklahoma fund page so they enter the independently administered scholarship fund.

Support can also mean sharing a memory.
Not every contribution to Brian's legacy is financial.
If you knew Brian as family, a friend, classmate, teammate, coach, teacher or member of the community, your recollection can help preserve a part of his story that photographs and formal records alone cannot tell.
The Memorial's tribute submission page allows you to share a memory, story or historical context and, if you choose, include a photograph.
Submissions are reviewed before publication so the archive can preserve authorship and context before a tribute is added to the public Memorial collection.
Give to the part of Brian's legacy that speaks to you.
The Brian Crawford Memorial has grown through remembrance, education, youth sports, permanent memorial sites and the stories people continue to share.
The giving paths on this page are intentionally separated so visitors can understand where their support is directed.

Preserving the Story
Support is not limited to financial giving. Photographs, memories, historical documents and personal recollections can help preserve Brian's story for future generations.
Stewardship note: Contributions to the endowed Brian Crawford Memorial Scholarship Fund are administered by Communities Foundation of Oklahoma. Direct Memorial contributions made through TXT2GIVE follow the separate Brian Crawford Memorial giving path. Current donation processing, fund balances and scholarship accounting should be confirmed through the organization responsible for the applicable fund.
More than a donation.
Brian's memorial has taken many forms since 2005: tournaments, scholarships, permanent athletic facilities, a hometown field, family and community memories, and a continuing mission built around opportunity.
Supporting Brian's legacy can mean giving financially, helping the scholarship endowment grow, preserving a photograph, sharing a memory or simply helping another person understand who Brian was and why his story continues to matter.
