2oth Annual RUN FOR THE ROSES

The Tulsa Boys' Home's 20th Anniversary Run for the Roses was a resounding success, raising the critical funds to support the vital care of our 62 young boys. Guests donned their finest derby attire, sipped mint juleps, and reveled in the excitement of a Kentucky Derby-themed gala!

The afternoon buzzed with the energy of the live simulcast races. Attendees placed their bets, cheered for their chosen steeds, and experienced the adrenaline rush of the Derby from the heart of Tulsa. The silent and live auctions, along with the wine and cigar pulls, offered a treasure trove of unique finds and exciting experiences. Every bid and purchase will make a significant difference in the lives of the boys at Tulsa Boys' Home.

With a flowing open bar, delectable food, and captivating live entertainment by Jacinta Johnson, Kyle Dillingham, Richard Hight, and William Lee Golden of the Oak Ridge Boys, the event delivered an unforgettable experience. Laughter, conversation, and a shared purpose to support the boys filled the air. The Run for the Roses wasn't just about merriment; it was about making a lasting impact. The generous support of our guests will provide nutritious meals, counseling services, and a safe haven for the boys at Tulsa Boys' Home.

The Tulsa Boys' Home extends its heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated in the 20th Anniversary Run for the Roses. We want to recognize our generous sponsors, TBH team members and volunteers, and Emcee, Tulsa County Commissioner, Karen Keith.  Together, we are making a difference in the lives of these boys in our care.
