Rock & Read 2025

Get ready for a night of music, community, and karaoke fun—all in support of Tulsa’s young readers. Rock & Read is Gaining Ground’s signature fundraising event, fueling programs that put books into children’s hands and inspire the next generation of readers, thinkers, and leaders.

Join us for a patio book sale benefiting Tulsa students—pick up a new favorite or bring your own to read while you relax. Plus, enjoy an exclusive first look at the Rock & Read silent auction.

Join us for a special pre-party featuring a book drive to benefit Tulsa students—donate one new or two gently-used books and enjoy a free drink. Browse the Magic City Books stand and don’t miss a special book-signing with beloved local children’s author, Brenda Maier.
