As Oklahoma emerges as a booming destination for new residents and business ventures alike, more attention than ever is drawn to the state’s vibrant community of companies that care deeply about the state and its people.
Nothing is truer of this year’s winners of The Journal Record‘s 2025 Beacon awards and Empowering Women Awards.
For the Beacon Awards, companies and organizations are recognized for their efforts to give back to their communities. Three categories for the Beacon Awards are Charitable Influence, Philanthropic Impact and Nonprofits Serving Nonprofits.
The Journal Record hopes that continued recognition of companies making a difference for Oklahoma inspires emerging companies and professionals to greater levels of success, as our Beacon and Empowering Women honorees lead the way.
