Blake Shelton is partnering with the OKPOP foundation and serving as an honorary chairperson for their fundraising campaign.

The OKPOP Foundation hopes Shelton's role will help them raise money for the late 2024 opening date.

Shelton said, “Music is my livelihood, and Oklahoma is my home—my heart. So, when I heard more about OKPOP’s mission to inspire and empower young Oklahoma musicians or artists like me, I knew I had to get involved.”

Executive Director of the OKPOP Museum Jeff Mooresaid, "Blake is such a great fit for what this museum represents."

Shelton is encouraging other industry peers and Oklahomans to get involved.

“Blake Shelton’s willingness to publicly embrace the OKPOP Foundation mission—to share Oklahoman’s stories—highlights the importance and global impact,” said Scott Petty, OKPOP Foundation Chair. “His involvement will be the catalyst for everything the foundation has been doing behind the scenes and will ultimately bring this project to fruition.”  

The OKPOP foundation is also partnering with the Oklahoma Historical Society to accomplish its goal of preserving Oklahoma's pop culture history.
