Baskets of Love at the Breath of Life Gala
Friday, October 20, 2023 | National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum
Breath of Life Gala Website
Baskets of Love is the Central/Western Oklahoma Chapter's program for CF families to contribute to the Breath of Life Gala auction, feature their CF hero, and attend the event. One Basket may be donated per family. Two tickets to the event will be issued for the "basket" donated.
Your Basket of Love can be a large item, experience, trip, basket of items, or anything else you think someone might be interested in purchasing in an auction. Many times, businesses, friends, and family are willing to donate to help. We ask that the item(s) are $250-300 in retail value. Our goal is to raise as much money as possible to find a cure for CF! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions or want to discuss your ideas with someone.
If you plan to participate, you MUST complete the following forms: 
Baskets of Love Commitment Form: Let us know by Friday, September 1 to save your two seats at the Gala and submit your CF hero's photoyou will be participating and submit your CF Hero's photo!

Baskets of Love Item Form: Complete form AND have auction items to the CF Foundation office by Friday, September 29.

*ALL Baskets are DUE to the chapter office by Friday, September 29, 2023*
We cannot guarantee items received after this date will be included in the auction.

Baskets of Love Tips and Ideas

We know that making a basket is fun and exciting, but it can also a bit intimidating, especially if it’s your first one! We hope this can help guide you on what you want to do for your Basket of Love!
 Places and people to consider asking for donations:
  • Boutiques and local shops are often willing to donate an item or gift certificate.
  • Restaurants may be willing to provide a gift certificate or dining experience.
  • Do you have a friend or relative who has a business that is willing to donate a service or item?
  • Do you have a friend or relative with access to a unique experience?
  • Do you have a friend or relative with season tickets to football, basketball, baseball, etc.? It can be local or across the country. Is there a game they will not be able to attend and would be willing to donate?
  • Do you know someone who would be willing to donate a weekend at their lake house or their time-share?
  • Share an Amazon wishlist on social media to have friends and family help purchase items to create a basket.
