On Saturday, February 27, 2027, we will celebrate thirty years of Red Ribbon Gala and the generosity, creativity, and community who have made it everything it is today. Thirty years in the making, this is THE MOMENT—an evening honoring our extraordinary legacy while looking boldly toward the future. 

Led by 2027 Red Ribbon Gala Chairmen Mike Keys and Ty Kaszubowski, this landmark evening will honor the legacy that has made Red Ribbon Gala one of Tulsa’s most anticipated and impactful celebrations. This milestone year will bring that history to life through an immersive evening in ways like never before.

We are incredibly proud to recognize Steve Mitchell as the 2027 Patricia G. Chernicky Luminary Honoree, celebrating his leadership, generosity, and enduring commitment to Tulsa.
