Cain’s Ballroom
ROCK the ROUTE for education!
Every year, you show up for the teachers and students who need it most. This year, we're celebrating that together at Cain's Ballroom.
Rock Paper Scissors 2026 lands on Friday, October 2, where Bob Wills played, Leon Russell played, and Tulsa made music history. Route 66 turns 100 this year, and we are throwing a party worthy of the milestone.
Dinner by Dope Soul Catering, drinks, live music, and dancing on one of the most iconic stages in the country. Bid on exclusive items and experiences through our live and silent auction, and cap the night knowing every dollar goes straight to our children.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Presented by Shining Honor Foundation.
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 $1.3 million in supplies last school year alone to more than 25,000 students and 535 teachers. As retail in-kind donations have dropped 61% in four years and student need has risen by 48%, your monetary support is more vital than ever.

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!
