“This is such a fun opportunity to engage in a friendly competition while making a positive impact on the community," said Stacy Kurtz, director of Catholic Charities’ Enid office.

Catholic Charities serves the Enid area with program services such as emergency rent and utility assistance, case management, counseling and various other walk-in services.
Kurtz, who has served the Enid location for over 20 years, recognizes the growing need for case management in cities and towns outside of Oklahoma City and in Tulsa.
“It’s so important to have accessible case management in rural areas of our state. This fundraising event will also help highlight the services we have available in the Enid area. Not only will participants have a great time trying their hand at axe throwing, but they can also take pride in knowing their contribution will directly benefit Catholic Charities of Enid."
