Leading Ladies Gala 2026

Join the Claremore Area Chamber of Commerce for an elegant evening celebrating ten extaordinary women whose leadership, work ethic, and dedication to community service are making a difference across Claremore and Rogers County.

Each honoree is nominated by members of the community who have witnessed her impact firsthand; whose contributions exemplify leadership and service across a diverse range of fields—including business, manufacturing, healthcare, education, government, nonprofit service, and community leadership.

The evening includes an elegant catered dinner, drinks, music, and recognition of this year's Leading Ladies. We are excited for the return of our beloved dessert auction and wine pull.

🍰 The Leading Ladies Dessert Auction

Save room for something sweet and be ready to bid!

Our dessert auction brings an assortment of decadent, beautifully crafted desserts and specialty treats to the stage, with each one going to the highest bidder through our live auction. Whether you're bidding for your own table, taking something home to share, or simply want to see how high the bidding can go, it's a delicious way to support the evening while enjoying some friendly competition.

Come for dinner. Stay for dessert. Bid generously.

🍷 The Leading Ladies Wine Pull

A little mystery. A little luck. A bottle worth uncorking.

For $25, guests can take their chance at our Leading Ladies Wine Pull and select a mystery bottle from a curated collection of wines ranging from approachable favorites to premium, high-end selections. Each bottle will be wrapped or presented so its identity remains a surprise until it is chosen.

Once you've made your selection, the choice is yours: take your bottle home to enjoy later or have one of our on-site bartenders open it for you to share with your table. Bottles opened during the event must be enjoyed responsibly and finished before the conclusion of the evening.

Pick your bottle. Reveal your surprise. Raise a glass to the women we're celebrating.
