The streets of Lawton have been made notably cleaner thanks to the efforts of the Blackout Rucking Crew, recently honored with the Clean Sweep Award for their community service. The city acknowledged the group not just for their commitment to tidiness but also the strong sense of community pride they encourage through their actions.

Chris and Ben, representing the crew, stepped up to accept the accolade which spotlights the significant work done along Ferris Road between 2nd and 11th Streets, consistently ridding it of refuse and aiding in sustaining an aesthetically pleasing locale for residents and visitors, the city's award comes as a public token of appreciation for this volunteer group that has become synonymous with local pride and civic engagement.

A statement obtained by the City of Lawton's official news release highlighted the Blackout Rucking Crew's ongoing commitment: "They regularly pick up litter and contribute to maintaining a beautiful environment for all." This recognition encapsulates the very essence of the Clean Sweep Award, which is granted to those who go far beyond the call of duty in keeping the community presentable and welcoming.
