HAMILTON Tickets Donated to Oklahoma City Students by Paycom

Paycom partnered with the Civic Center Foundation to provide Oklahoma City students, teachers and parents an opportunity to be 'in the room where it happens.' Students from Oklahoma City Public Schools' Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary, Millwood Public Schools' Arts Academy and Dove Science Academy Elementary attended the musical 'Hamilton' on Aug. 12 at the Civic Center Music Hall. The donation marks the fifth year the company has provided tickets to local students and the eighth consecutive year Paycom has partnered with the Civic Center Foundation.

'At Paycom, we believe every student deserves opportunities that enrich their education and expand their perspective,' said Tiffany McGowen, senior executive vice president of HR and talent acquisition. 'We're honored to help provide local students with a memorable learning experience that encourages curiosity, critical thinking and a deeper understanding of our nation's history. Investing in students today helps create the leaders, innovators and problem-solvers of tomorrow.'

On Wednesday evening, students enjoyed refreshments and received souvenir T-shirts before watching the smash hit that tells the story of Alexander Hamilton, a founding father who pioneered America's financial system.

Elizabeth Gray, CEO of the Civic Center Foundation, said the partnership with Paycom supports the organization's mission to ensure a strong and vibrant performing arts presence in the city.
