Howard, 45, recently received arm prostheses and soon will be fitted with leg prostheses after losing all her limbs to an infection in November 2011.

Tracy, 20, is a former University of Central Oklahoma student who suffered traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures after pushing his two friends out of the way of a drunken driver in February 2011, reserving the brunt of the impact for himself.

This year's event will mark a milestone for the center and a former patient, May Beth Davis, who will demonstrate how she is overcoming permanent paralysis from the shoulders down with a bionic suit.

Formerly wheelchair-bound, Davis will walk across the stage at the event.

The presentation starts at 7:30 p.m. at National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, 1700 NE 63.
