Tickets are still available for the 13th Annual State of Our Children Address

We are just one week away from the 13th Annual State of Our Children Address and Report Card Release. We are excited to welcome you to the Theater at Innovation Square on Thursday, February 26. Doors open at 1:30 p.m., and the program begins promptly at 2:00 p.m.


Thank you to the more than 200 community members that have already secured your tickets. If you still need to purchase tickets, click the link here.


We also encourage you to share this invitation with colleagues and friends—both within and beyond your respective organizations.


This year’s event will feature inspiring youth performances, important updates on the work of the Alliance, and measurable progress happening across our city. Together, we’ll reflect on where we’ve made gains and identify where we must lean in even further to drive meaningful change.


We are especially honored to welcome Deputy Mayor Krystal Reyes of Tulsa, Oklahoma, along with Ashley Philippsen, Executive Director of Impact Tulsa, a leading collective impact organization, for a dynamic fireside chat.


You won’t want to miss this signature annual event. Please make plans to join us—we look forward to seeing you there.
