Greater Tulsa Parade of Homes
The Greater Tulsa Parade of Homes is the perfect opportunity to view the latest trends and speak directly to the area's top builder, all during a unique, free event that showcases the best in new home building.
Our builders can select to be judged during the Parade so drivers are usually needed for at least two days to drive around out-of-state judges to view the homes and make their marks.

Build My Future
The Tulsa HBA has seen that #1 issue in the construction industry is the lack of a quality work force to complete jobs on time and on budget. We are taking action to be part of an annual event to encourage our next generation to continue their education through construction programs and eventually enter our industry as a more qualified employee with our Build My Future event. This event hosted by the Tulsa HBA and HBA Charitable Foundation hosts more than 900 high school students who will learn about education programs and employment opportunities available in the construction industry throughout the Tulsa metropolitan area. They will experience hands-on learning labs, equipment demonstrations, and educational displays facilitated by industry professionals.
This event requires many volunteers to make possible. From check-in, bag stuffing, lunch service, traffic control and more. For more information on the event or to volunteer, contact Association Issues Director Stacey Bayles, sbayles@tulsahba.com.

Ryal School Holiday Party
For over 51 years, the HBA has hosted an annual Christmas party on the first Thursday of December for the low-income students of the Ryal School located south of Henryetta. HBA members gather at the local Wal-Mart to be paired with a student to take on a shopping spree for Christmas gifts funded by the HBA. After shopping, the students are taken back to the HBA for a pizza party, gifts and a visit from Santa. It is absolutely the best way to kick off the Christmas season with giving.
To volunteer, contact Events Director Sarah Gentry at sgentry@tulsahba.com.
