Our Mission:
Ten-Seven Retreat is a non-profit organization 501(c)3 that provides an all-expenses-paid retreat to The Bahamas for the spouses and children of Oklahoma Police Officers who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. The retreat offers surviving families a much needed reprieve by experiencing the serenity and healing power of blue skies, clear water, sandy beaches, and show-stopping sunsets. Families may find a time of reflection, relaxation and peace, and new adventures as they write a new chapter in their own book.
