Hospitality Under the Stars – Fiesta!

“Our Hospitality Under the Stars – Fiesta! was a fun and inspirational event this year,” said Toni Moore, Hospitality House of Tulsa President and CEO. “We appreciate our community of sponsors, donors, volunteers, vendors, and lodging partners who raised over $93,000 to support hundreds of families served at Hospitality House of Tulsa. At a time when more and more rural Oklahomans must travel to Tulsa for access to quality healthcare, Tulsa continues to lead in generosity and compassion. This event is critical to our mission and directly supports over 650 families traveling to Tulsa in a medical crisis. While the fiesta portion has concluded, the support needed for more families continues. We invite more Tulsans to extend hospitality through your gifts, time, and talents.”
