Annual Fundraisers

Every spring, CCFI hosts its annual Hands & Hearts fundraiser to support vital programs and services for children in our community. We are extremely appreciative of the community members, donors and friends who join us to support our mission to heal children, empower youth and strengthen families. Guests enjoy a complimentary lunch, receive agency updates and gain valuable insight into the service and programs we provide. Attendees will also learn about becoming our partner through making a financial pledge or one-time gift to help sustain our mission.

In addition to Hands & Hearts, we’ve added a fun and fabulous evening event called Night at the Club at Boys & Girls Club of Norman! This interactive night is for adults only and features regular Club programming - plus some fun extras like SINGO, art projects and more.

Hands & Hearts: Refreshed + Renewed

Last year, we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Hands & Hearts fundraising luncheon – and, wow, what a run it has been! While we have thoroughly enjoyed this tradition for the past two decades, we are ready to refresh and renew this event by mixing it up with a new format starting in 2025.

We’re excited to announce that we will be hosting a Hands & Hearts brunch on Saturday, March 1st at St. Thomas More University Parish and Student Center (100 Stinson St, Norman, OK).

What to Expect?

Prepare to hear heartwarming stories of impact, new client testimonials, and important agency updates, so you can join us in advocating for the transformational work we do in our community. A few new additions include onsite childcare for all ages, a small, curated silent auction and a breakfast buffet featuring a hand-crafted menu by Othello’s Italian Restaurant!

When to Arrive?

Doors will open at 9:30 a.m. to allow guests plenty of time to browse the auction, fill their plates and find a seat. Here is a breakdown of the event:

9:30 a.m. – onsite childcare opens and silent auction begins
10:00 a.m. – breakfast buffet opens

What is the Cost?

Hands & Hearts will remain FREE to attend, however, upon submitting your RSVP online, we are asking for a minimum suggested donation of $25 for each attendee. This donation will ensure we keep our costs low and will help us reach our fundraising goal for the event.
