Recently, Mrs. Bass contributed $20 million toward a $30 million expansion to the School of Music building at Oklahoma City University.

That contribution came on the heels of another one by Mrs. Bass to the tune of $2.5 million to the university, to purchase and maintain 105 Steinway pianos.

In fact, Steinway says the order by Mrs. Bass is the largest in the company's history, making OCU one of only 25 all-Steinway music schools in the country.

“A window opens just once in a lifetime sometimes for you to really make a difference in people's lives. I've always felt strongly that if I had the means to give something back, that I should. The reward is in knowing that I have made a difference.”
