The Foundation for Tulsa Schools will honor the Lorton Family and the employees of QuikTrip Corporation, represented by Chet Cadieux, at its Spirit of Innovation Gala, Thursday, March 11 at the Rennaissance Hotel. The reception will begin at 6 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m.

The Lorton family has made an indelible mark on Tulsa, with philanthropic support encompassing the education realm.  From common to higher education, public and private, the Lorton family recognizes the value of education to Tulsa’s growth and prosperity.

The QuikTrip Corporation is also an irreplaceable presence in Tulsa and is committed to the community’s education. QuikTrip firmly believes that early childhood development is essential to building a successful academic career, and the corporation is a leading advocate of Tulsa youth.

The Foundation for Tulsa Schools supports creativity and innovation in the classroom to make learning more exciting and interactive for Tulsa students.  It provides community support for innovative teaching and other initiatives that enhance the learning experience for Tulsa Public Schools students.  The need to support education initiatives has reached a critical mass, therefore making your support more important now than ever.
