Vision Dinner celebrates community champions of education and raises funds to support students through scholarships, internships, textbook vouchers, technology, and more.

Thank you to our planning committee for organizing this year’s event.

Your Impact

#LETSDOTHIS

Year after year, the Tulsa community shows up to support the dreams of TCC students and they respond.

90% of TCC students stay in the Tulsa area upon completing their education and become part of the skilled workforce our community needs. Vision Dinner proceeds go straight to work for TCC students. In 2025, Vision Dinner raised more than $450,000, provided more than 50 scholarships and supported student needs on each of TCC’s four campuses. Your support of Vision Dinner makes college more attainable for our students and puts them on a path to academic success.
