CALM WATERS’ ANNUAL CARNIVAL-STYLE EVENING FUNDRAISER

APRIL 11, 2025 | 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM | ADULTS ONLY

OKC FARMER’S MARKET | 311 SOUTH KLEIN, OKC, OK 73108

Join KOCO-TV’s Jordan Ryan at the Greatest Fundraiser on Earth!

Too often, we see children grow up too quickly after a traumatic loss. At Under the Big Top, we embrace the childlike nostalgia of a classic carnival to remind ourselves why it is so important to provide mental health services to children struggling with grief. 

Your support will help Calm Waters provide childhood-saving mental health services.

You’ll be inspired and delighted by Inspyral Circus, The Flying Okie and Magician Jonathan Meyer while enjoying your favorite carnival games (with great prizes!) With a wine walk and Kendra Scott jewelry pull, elevated carnival food and an open bar, you’ll know this isn’t your average night on the town! 

You might take home staycations, spa experiences, wellness packages and more…all while raising money to provide services to grieving children and families. 

Festive cocktail attire is requested.

Sponsorships start at $500 and include free tickets!

NEW! Pre-purchase game cards with your tickets.

Skip the ticket booth line & start playing right away!
