Events

Annual Luncheon: Celebrating Generations of Women in Education

April 6, 2023 – Fundraiser

Each year, the annual luncheon provides an opportunity for AmeriCorps Members serving in classrooms to network with members of the Tulsa community, and for community members to learn more about the work that City Year Tulsa does.

I managed a team of 10 City Year staff members who oversaw pieces of the event, such as parking, networking, and table centerpieces. I also coordinated with the venue and catering staff to provide a meaningful experience to nearly 700 attendees. At the conclusion of the event, over $220,000 was raised to support Tulsa schools.
