NORMAN, Okla. - This year's 14 Foundation Holiday Food Drive netted a record $25,079.11 in donations. The fund-raising portion of the drive was conducted prior to last Saturday's Oklahoma-Texas A&M football game in Norman.

The generosity of Sooner fans means that more than 1,000 families in eight Oklahoma communities will receive meals for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The first distribution will take place Monday and will reach out to families in Norman. Subsequent distributions will occur between Nov. 13-19.

The 14 Foundation was founded by former Sooner quarterback and current OU assistant coach Josh Heupel. Donations for this year's drive were collected by members of the Oklahoma baseball and softball teams.

The 2007 total exceeded the previous record donation by nearly $7,000.
