Ripples of Hope Breakfast
Calm Waters' annual breakfast fundraiser
A morning of connection. A ripple of hope.
Ripples of Hope supports Calm Waters' work: support groups at our center and in schools across Oklahoma, seminars, trainings and counseling that help clients navigate grief in healthy, constructive ways. All proceeds benefit Calm Waters programs and services for grieving Oklahomans.
Your support helps children, teens, adults and families find connection through loss — offering not just healing, but hope that begins as a ripple and grows throughout their grief journey.
