The Forever Red Gala is a celebration of the people, experiences, and traditions that have shaped Oklahoma FCCLA for generations. Hosted by Oklahoma FCCLA Alumni & Associates, this signature black-tie evening brings together alumni, educators, supporters, and friends of FCCLA to reconnect, celebrate our shared legacy, and invest in the future of an organization that continues to impact thousands of Oklahoma students.
The inaugural Forever Red Gala in 2026 showed what is possible when the Oklahoma FCCLA community comes together. Through the generosity of our guests and supporters, the event helped endow two scholarships, provide resources to local FCCLA chapters, and invest in professional development opportunities for advisers.
For 2027, our impact is growing. This year, Oklahoma FCCLA Alumni & Associates is working toward establishing an endowment for Oklahoma FCCLA State Convention. For generations of members, State Convention has been one of the defining experiences of FCCLA—a place where students discover their potential, demonstrate their skills, build lifelong connections, and are recognized for their achievements.
Our goal is to create a permanent source of support that helps offset the cost of State Convention for Oklahoma FCCLA, allowing resources to go further and helping ensure this experience remains strong for future generations of members.
When you attend, sponsor, or support the Forever Red Gala, you are helping create something that lasts far beyond one evening. You are helping build a legacy of opportunity for Oklahoma FCCLA.
Join us as we celebrate the memories that brought us here and invest in the experiences that will inspire what comes next.
The Forever Red Gala is an elevated evening for guests 21 and over. Guests are encouraged to dress for the occasion in cocktail or formal attire
