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.

We have hosted our beloved Hands & Hearts fundraiser for more than 20 years – and wow, what a run it has been! Last year, we gave this longstanding event a refresh by transforming it into a weekend brunch. We’re excited to announce that we will continue this new format for our 2026 Hands & Hearts fundraiser!

Mark your calendar and join our Hands & Hearts brunch on Saturday, February 28th at
St. Thomas More University Parish and Student Center (100 Stinson St, Norman, OK).

What to Expect?

Prepare to hear heartwarming stories of impact, client testimonials, and important agency updates, so you can join us in advocating for the transformational work we do in our community.
