Upcoming Events

Summer Soiree, T&C’s annual fundraiser, is scheduled for Saturday evening, July 12, 2008, at Southern Hills Country Club. Monies raised from this event help to “bridge the gap” between tuition and actual costs to educate a student with learning differences.

This festive evening will include beautiful flowers, signature martinis, hors d’oeuvres, silent auction bidding, seated dinner, entertainment by the Tulsa Youth Symphony.

Jerry Traylor will be our featured speaker.  Mr. Traylor, born with cerebral palsy, has jogged across the country and finished dozens of marathons.  His challenge to overcome great obstacles and excel despite a disability will serve as an inspiration to all who attend Summer Soiree.  For more information about Mr. Traylor, please visit his website at www.jerrytraylor.com.
