Past Events

Three years ago, Tulsa firefighter John Buck was diagnosed with a rare form of head and neck cancer. He sought treatment out of state, which required him and his wife to relocate over 500 miles away from home for weeks on end. Without the support and sacrifice of family, friends, and the Tulsa Fire Department, John’s 50 days of active treatment would have been infinitely more difficult. The compassion and hospitality of others enabled him to receive the care he needed. John is continuing to give back to his community and help others in similar medical crises by kicking off the third-annual “Half a Hundred for Hospitality” on Feb. 15, benefitting the families served by The Hospitality House of Tulsa. Through “Half a Hundred,” the community is encouraged to get involved in the cause by committing to do push-ups for 50 consecutive days, beginning February 15 and ending April 5. Participants can find sponsors to donate a penny, nickel, dime, quarter or dollar per push-up. Download the Half a Hundred for Hospitality brochure and get started!
