A fun family-friendly festival to mark the end of summer and kick off the 2024-2025 back-to-school season!

Additional wraparound resources and activities made possible by our valued community partners:
The Graves McLain Injury Lawyers 2024 Back-to-School Festival is part of the Firm’s ongoing commitment to the Tulsa Community we serve. Our goal is to help alleviate the financial burden often associated with the back-to-school season by offering complimentary school supplies, backpacks, and other resources to school-aged children in need throughout the greater Tulsa area. Through partnerships with valued local organizations and businesses, the Festival also fosters collaborative opportunities in support of a common community cause.
