Oklahoma City’s Cavett Kids Foundation is gearing up for its annual Cavett Kids Got Talent fundraiser on Friday, Nov. 20, from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Embassy Suites at 741 N Phillips Ave., according to Cavett Kids Foundation. The evening will mix camper talent performances with live and silent auctions, interactive games and dinner, all in support of children and families affected by chronic and life-threatening illnesses.
The foundation calls Cavett Kids Got Talent its biggest fundraiser of the year, according to its event page. Proceeds raised that night go toward camps and programs, a detail also reported by The Journal Record, which covers the nonprofit sector for the region. Those camps and programs are designed to help children enjoy childhood traditions, create meaningful memories and connect with others who share similar experiences, per the seed report.
A Night Built Around the Kids Themselves
What sets the fundraiser apart is that the campers themselves take center stage, performing for the crowd before guests bid on items at the live and silent auctions. The foundation is also seeking final auction donations, including gift cards, gift packages, experiences and other items, as reported by The Journal Record. Tickets, along with more information about the foundation and ways to support the event, are available through cavettkids.org.
Cavett Kids Foundation is known for its summer camps and provides year-round opportunities for children and families to build lasting relationships, according to the same account. That mission extends beyond the camp season — the organization has also found ways to connect families throughout the year, including a free Trunk or Treat event held Oct. 26 from 6 to 8 p.m. for children and families affected by chronic and life-threatening illnesses, as reported by the Journal Record in its earlier coverage of the Trunk or Treat announcement.
Leadership Looks Ahead to Fundraising Goals
Ashley Simpson, executive director of Cavett Kids Foundation, said the organization is excited about its annual fundraiser and hopes to raise more money for the children and families it serves, as noted by The Journal Record. Simpson was previously identified in that same October report as the foundation’s executive director.
The 2026 fundraiser follows a similar event held the previous year. AllEvents listed the 16th Annual Cavett Kids Got Talent at the same Embassy Suites Downtown OKC location for Nov. 21, 2025, running from 6 to 10 p.m., per AllEvents. With this year’s date now set for Nov. 20, organizers are hoping to build on that tradition while keeping the focus on the campers whose performances anchor the evening.
