Why Tunes & Spoons Supports Music Giving Hope
A portion of the proceeds from the Tunes & Spoons Chili Cook-Off & Music Festival will benefit Music Giving Hope. By attending, you’re not only enjoying three unforgettable days of music, food, and fun—you’re also helping make a difference in the community. Whether you’re here for the chili, the live bands, the classic car show, or just the good vibes, you’ll be part of a mission to give back, just as Tito always did.
Tito’s Vision: Love One Another ❤️
When Tito moved to Claremore in 2023, he fell in love with the town’s charm, its people, and the peaceful way of life. He spent hours fishing at his private pond and connecting with neighbors.
But on May 25, 2024, an EF3, one-mile-wide tornado devastated the community. Tito’s heart broke for the families affected. Out of this compassion came his vision for Tunes & Spoons—a celebration of music, food, and unity to raise funds for tornado relief and to bring people together.
Developed in collaboration with Brad White & Rob Miller (founders of Rocklahoma) and supported by local leadership, the festival embodies Tito’s belief in giving back through a celebration of music, food, and unity.
How You Can Help – Volunteer!
This 3-day event can’t happen without the support of the community. We need volunteers for a variety of roles and shifts—whether for one shift, one day, or the entire weekend. A portion of proceeds will go directly toward tornado recovery efforts in the Claremore community. Come lend a hand! You'll have fun and make a real impact.
Perks for volunteers:
• Free event t-shirt
• A meal for each day you serve
• The chance to be part of something truly special
