After a year of no camps due to Covid-19, the Cavett Kids Foundation is enacting additional health and safety action plans in order to move forward with its summer programming and the commitment to their mission. Since 1997, Cavett Kids has provided FREE camps, programs and events for youth battling chronic and life-threatening illnesses. In every aspect of the organization, they strive to develop character, coping and connection while also impacting the lives of over 15,000 youth each year. The foundation provides a safe place for kids to feel “normal” and accepted while also receiving the around-the-clock medical care they need.
Cavett Kids is able to provide these life-changing programs thanks to the generosity of its donors and volunteers. Despite the financial challenges for many businesses and organizations during this time, the support of the Masonic Charity Foundation of Oklahoma has not waivered. The Masonic Charity Foundation of Oklahoma recently granted Cavett Kids with $20,000 in support of their annual summer camp, Camp Cavett. Thanks to the commitment and generosity of the Masons, Cavett Kids’ campers will enjoy 5 days of freedom and joy at no cost! Campers will experience fishing, tubing, swimming, horseback riding, go-karts, crafts, jewelry making and more. Best of all, they will meet other kids with similar battles and learn that they are not alone in their fight!
Over the past four years, the Masonic Charity Foundation of Oklahoma has been a dedicated annual donor of the Cavett Kids Foundation and continues to provide grant funding in support of its programming. Long time Cavett Kids camper, Jacob, describes the life-changing camps best… “For 10 years I have come and every year it’s filled with love and acceptance; where bullying is null and the daily worries and struggles are escaped. Honestly, Camp Cavett saved my life and the support from the foundation is by biggest reason for my drive to thrive. …”
