AWAH GALA

at Leadership Square 211 N Robinson Ave. OKC, OK

Each year Art With a Heart hosts an auction gala to raise awareness for childhood cancer in the Oklahoma City community.

The auction features artwork created by children who are undergoing treatment at OU Children’s Hospital. Art therapy days are hosted throughout the year where each child gets to escape their daily routine and is paired with a professional artist to create a piece they find joy in.

The event is centered around honoring the strength and courage of each child and their families with proceeds benefitting local pediatric cancer organizations.

BENEFICIARIES

Art With a Heart is a nonprofit organization that donates 100% of proceeds to beneficiaries focused on bettering the lives of local children battling pediatric cancer.

  • The Oklahoma Children's Cancer Association was founded in 1974 by a small group of parents who were experiencing stress, questions, and fears associated with having a family member diagnosed with cancer.

    These parents saw the need to provide local support for families whose children were diagnosed with cancer, and the Oklahoma Children's Cancer Association was born. OCCA has grown from a small group of caring parents to an organization affiliated with the OU Physicians Jimmy Everest Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders.

  • Keaton’s Kindness Foundation, or the K Club, was founded by Art With a Heart artist Keaton Barrón. Keaton’s mission was to spread kindness, courage, compassion, and caring to the world through his K Club. Now his family carries on his mission by spreading joy to patients and their families and fighting for a cure for pediatric cancer.

  • Since 1997 Cavett Kids has provided FREE camps, programs and special events for children battling life-threatening illnesses. In everything we do, we strive to develop Character, Coping and Connection while also improving the lives of over 15,000 children each year.

    Our services provide a safe place for children to feel like a “normal” kid while also receiving the life-saving medical care they need. Camp Cavett is our largest camp to date serving over 200 children from Oklahoma and surrounding states. But it’s truly more than a camp. It’s a place “where illness does not define the child.”
