As summer begins to wind down and we turn our focus toward a busy fall, I want to thank each of you for the remarkable work you continue to do in your practices and in our community. It’s an honor to serve as your president and to witness the dedication, resilience, and compassion that define our profession.
Today, I’m writing with an exciting invitation to an evening that promises laughter, networking, and purpose - all in support of our shared mission.
“Laughter is the Best Medicine,” our annual fundraiser for Project TCMS (Tulsa Charitable Medical Services), is happening on Friday, October 3rd at 5:30 PM at the University of Tulsa Lorton Performance Center. I’m thrilled to announce that our headliner this year is the brilliant and hilarious Caroline Rhea! You may know her from Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Hollywood Squares, and her long-standing career in stand-up comedy. Her warm, witty humor will remind us all why laughter truly is the best medicine.
We spend our days and nights caring for others, this evening is about caring for ourselves, having fun, and supporting an event that directly benefits our program and community.
This is the perfect opportunity to make it a date night, plan a fun night out with friends, or gather your favorite colleagues for a well-deserved evening of entertainment. We’ll enjoy great food, conversation, and laughter, all for a great cause.
Here are several ways you can support Project TCMS and “Laughter is the Best Medicine”:
Attend the event!
Come solo, bring a partner, or invite a group. It’s the perfect occasion to relax, connect, and recharge. Don’t miss the chance to upgrade to VIP tickets, which include a pre-show reception with great food and drinks and premium seating.
Sponsor through your practice or organization.
Sponsorship is a wonderful way to show your support while receiving recognition before and during the event. Various sponsorship levels are available to fit different budgets and visibility goals. For members of TCMS and their practice or organization who sponsor, there is a special discount - contact the TCMS Foundation for more details - mark@tcmsok.org or 918.743.6184.
Know someone who might want to sponsor?
Whether it's a friend, patient, or local business owner, we’d love an introduction. This is a feel-good event that brings our whole community together - professionally and personally.
Can’t attend? Make a donation.
If your schedule doesn’t allow you to join us, you can still make an impact. Your donation supports the continued advancement of health in our community and the well-being of your fellow physicians.
Help spread the word.
Please share the event with your staff, social circles, and on social media. Personal invites go a long way toward helping us fill the room - and our mission.
Let’s come together for a night of laughter, positivity, and purpose. I truly hope to see you there!
With warm regards and gratitude,
Ondria C. Gleason, MD
