Rock & Read 2025

Join us for Rock & Read, Gaining Ground Literacy’s signature fundraising event—a karaoke-filled night celebrating music, community, and the power of reading.
This year's event is more than a good time—it's a crucial fundraiser that directly supports our work to empower Tulsa’s children through access to books and literacy programming.
Why Your Support Matters
In the past year alone, Gaining Ground has provided:
76,000+ new books to help build home libraries for over 5,000 students
After-school and summer literacy programs for 717 students
90 hours of family engagement training for 69 families
But we face growing challenges. Our largest book provider has eliminated discounts for underserved schools, and several major funders have shifted away from education. Every dollar raised now has even more impact.
