APRIL 2025 Rally Point Briefing

MAY 2025

Summer’s Heating Up And So Are Our Rally Points

As Firepit Night season winds down, we’re not cooling off—we’re heating things up with a stacked lineup of summer Rally Points!

□ Kicking off in May, we’ve got The Big Dill Pickleball Rally Point at Ace Pickleball Club, Wakesurf Wednesdays making a splash, and Home Run Rally Points returning with the Tulsa Drillers!

□ You’ll also catch us all over Eastern OK with Game On Rally Points (cornhole, anyone?), hit the trails with Take a Hike Tuesdays, and get your adrenaline fix with Fur Missile Fridays—featuring K9 demos and backyard BBQ vibes.

□ All this and more, coming to a Rally Point near YOU.

PARTNER SPOTLIGHT

Tactical Toss Partner: Cornhole Ace

We’re proud to team up with Cornhole Ace, a family-run small business committed to creating professional-quality cornhole gear that won’t break the bank. Thanks to their support, our rally points are equipped with top-tier cornhole boards and gear that enhance the fun and foster connection.

Their contribution helps us bring the backyard vibe to life at every event.

Help Us Improve Veteran Support at Eagle OPS

Eagle OPS is partnering with Oklahoma State University’s Rural Veterans Health Access Program (OSU RVHAP) to assess how our Rally Points and services are impacting the health and well-being of veterans.

This quick 5-minute survey helps us understand not just what veterans need, but how the services we provide are making a difference. Your input ensures we continue connecting relationships and resources where they matter most.

Your feedback directly supports the mission—thank you for being a part of it!

We’ve Expanded. So Has Our Rally Point Access.

As Eagle OPS has grown across Oklahoma, so have the number of Rally Points we host each month—and keeping them all listed in one monthly briefing? That was starting to feel like trying to pack a ruck for a year-long deployment.
