Rocks & Swing Fore STEM raises $45,000 for Earth science education
Our 8th annual Rocks & Swing Fore STEM on August 27, 2026, was another fantastic event! We had a great evening doing two things that are important to us — having fun and raising money to support Earth science education in Oklahoma.
With both first-time and returning guests joining us, the 2026 event raised just under $45,000 after expenses to support Oklahoma Geological Foundation programs. We had a great turnout and an enthusiastic crowd, including many families and younger participants who joined in the fun this year.
Tickets
Each ticket includes admission, golf, dinner, three drink tickets, and auction fun!
Online silent auction
Check out the wonderful items that will be available through our online silent auction!
