GRAND Mental Health, a Tulsa-based mental health organization, is hosting a Battle of the Bands fundraiser this spring to support addiction recovery efforts in the local community. The event will feature live music performances from local bands and aims to raise awareness and funds for GRAND's mental health and substance abuse programs.

Why it matters

Addiction and mental health issues are significant challenges facing many communities, and events like this can help destigmatize these topics while also generating critical funding for support services. Tulsa has been working to expand access to mental health resources, and this fundraiser aligns with those broader community efforts.

The details

The Battle of the Bands fundraiser will take place on May 17th at a local music venue in Tulsa. Several local bands have already signed up to perform, and attendees will be able to vote for their favorite act. All proceeds from ticket sales, sponsorships, and donations will go directly to supporting GRAND Mental Health's addiction recovery programs, which provide counseling, support groups, and other services to those in need.

  • The Battle of the Bands fundraiser will be held on May 17, 2026.
  • GRAND Mental Health announced the event in late March 2026.
