Arvest Convention Center - Legacy Hall

Prepare to ROCK, Tulsa!

Get ready to ROCK! It’s The Pencil Box’s 10th anniversary and we’re cranking it up to 10! Join us for the Rock Paper Scissors Gala on Friday, October 3, 2025 at the Arvest Convention Center. Party starts at 6:30 p.m.!

Start your evening with a stroll down the RPS Walk of Fame, then indulge in Chef Devon Levine’s culinary creations and sip on expertly crafted beverages. Bid on exclusive items and unforgettable experiences, and cap off the night dancing to Tulsa’s own Zodiac.

Why Should You Rock with Us?

Many Tulsa County students face steep challenges; 66% are economically disadvantaged, and most start school without the supplies they need. The Pencil Box steps in to bridge this gap, providing over $813,000 in supplies last year alone to more than 25,000 students and 509 teachers. As retail in-kind donations have dropped 56% in six years and need continues to rise, your monetary support is more vital than ever.

About The Pencil Box

The Pencil Box is a non-profit in Tulsa County, providing free school supplies to teachers dedicated to helping underserved students in low-income public schools. Teachers can hit up our free store to select supplies tuned to their students' and classrooms' needs. We rely solely on the generosity of individuals, businesses, and foundations that provide financial support and supplies.
Our mission rocks with empowerment! Every child deserves equal opportunity and access to quality education, no matter where they were born. We jam with school supplies, educational tools, and incentive items, leveling the classroom and giving hope for a brighter future.
We're strumming to:
- Empower students and their teachers with the supplies needed for school success.
- Offer students hope for tomorrow by providing them the tools they need for success today.
- Partner with all public schools in Tulsa County where 70% or more of their students are economically disadvantaged.
- Provide a wide variety of materials that support successful learning and enrichment.
- Grow the organization to support all qualifying schools in Tulsa County.
- Reduce the out-of-pocket financial burden many public school teachers face to bridge the need.
The beat of need is strong! 66% of Tulsa County public school students are economically disadvantaged. Many arrive without necessary school supplies, lack adequate supplies at home, or can't replace them at the semester's start. Teachers are spending $500+ out of pocket annually. We aim to equalize the opportunity, provide the tools, and eliminate the teachers' financial burden. Together, we rock for success!
Thanks to awesome fans like you, we've been able to distribute over $7.3 million in essential school supplies to Tulsa County students and their teachers since 2015.
We're the backstage crew for teachers! Eligible teachers from Tulsa County can select supplies specific to their students' needs. We offer core supplies, plus enrichment and incentive items, partnering with teachers in public schools where 70% or more of the students are economically disadvantaged. The Pencil Box depends solely on the generosity of businesses, foundations, organizations, and individuals to provide monetary and in-kind product donations. Supplies not donated are purchased at reduced prices from partnering vendors.
