Join us for one of Tulsa’s premier events! In it’s 6th year, Shining the Light has already been named one of the most exciting events in Tulsa! All tickets include Dinner, Live Music, Silent and Live Auction, Entertainment, and your choice of beer or wine. 1 in 5 Americans suffer devasting events such as TBI, Strokes, Aneurysms and Spinal Cord Injuries which can cost them out of pocket $85,000 to $3,000,000.00 in a lifetime. They need our support! Come celebrate with us while we raise funds to serve individuals and their families with TBI’s, and become one step closer to achieving our goal of building DEFY NeuroREHAB!
