Oklahoma City Indian Clinic proudly marked 50 years of providing excellent health care with its 20th Annual Red Feather Gala. This year’s event welcomed nearly 600 guests and raised over $100,000 to fund hearing aids for patients in need.
A Night Full of Celebration & Generosity
The evening offered an engaging mix of entertainment, cultural appreciation and philanthropy. Attendees enjoyed interactive photo booths, live music from Native flute player Terry Tsotigh, and a dynamic silent auction. A unique highlight featured local artists creating original pieces throughout the night, which were later auctioned to benefit the cause. Emcee One kept the energy high during the after-party, while Marshal Williamson hosted the Men’s Fancy Dance and Women’s Fancy Shawl competition. Guests cheered for their favorite performances as the vibrant regalia and skilled dancers captivated the audience. The night concluded with an enthusiastic live auction, where generous attendees raised their paddles to support patients in need.
Together We Gave the Gift of Hearing
Thanks to these contributions, approximately 25 sets of hearing aids will be provided, profoundly improving patients’ quality of life. Beyond restoring sound, these devices enhance communication, strengthen relationships, and help individuals fully engage with their surroundings. Hearing shouldn’t be a luxury, but for some, it is.
