Community Calendar

Join us for Light the Night, a meaningful evening walk to honor and remember those impacted by blood cancers and to celebrate survivors. Families, friends, and the community come together to light up the night with lanterns of hope. Enjoy live music, food trucks, and a touching ceremony. Help us raise funds for life-saving research and patient support through The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Saturday, October 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Dr. Carolyn Taylor Center Ballroom, at Rogers State University, in Claremore.

This free event is designed to support families beginning at pregnancy, adoption, foster care, or any way a family is formed, and continuing through birth, postpartum, and early childhood development.

Families can enjoy free professional photography, self-care stations, car seat checks, and the chance to earn raffle tickets for incredible prizes, including a five-hundred-dollar photography package. You will also be able to fill a swag bag with items that fit your family’s needs.

There will be resources, supports, and local shops and businesses that offer items and services for every stage of life we support. This event is for the entire family.

This event is free and open to everyone.

For three decades, New Hope Oklahoma has provided life-changing programs and services for children with a parent in prison. New Hope relies on generous gifts from supporters like you to help us reach our goal of engaging hundreds of Oklahoma youth each year. To continue this vital mission in our community, we are excited to invite you all to participate in furthering this work!

If you have a business or foundation, supporting Hope Floats can also provide a valuable marketing opportunity. We will recognize donors in a multi-media presentation during the event, in our printed program, in our newsletters, and on all online platforms. As a sponsor, you and your guests are sure to enjoy yourselves while partaking in added sponsor benefits. You can purchase individual tickets or sponsorships for Hope Floats at the link provided.

Oklahoma still holds one of the highest incarceration rates in the world, and children impacted by parental incarceration face incredible odds. With your support, New Hope will continue to stand in the gap to meet the ongoing needs of young people in our community. We hope to see you in October!

Enjoy an evening of dinner, lively trivia, a silent auction, and a dessert auction while supporting Pause4Paws.

Pause4Paws promotes access to healthcare for pet owners in the Tulsa area impacted by homelessness, mental illness, or addiction who need inpatient treatment but have no one to care for their pets. We arrange foster homes for pets while their owners experiencing homelessness, mental illness or addiction receive urgent medical, mental health, or substance abuse treatment.
