Colten Cowell Foundation

The Colten Cowell Foundation creates unforgettable experiences for families impacted by significant life challenges. Enjoying a night of respite and fun, we create cherished memories, instill a spirit of giving and bring hope for the future.

Imagine having a critically ill child in need of constant medical attention. Your family is financially strapped and on an emotional roller coaster in desperate need of a night of respite. Every Cave experience and life we touch helps us achieve our mission to provide a night of respite of fun, create cherished memories and instill a sense of philanthropy.

The Colten Cowell Foundation serves children ages 2-18 who are facing significant life challenges such as terminal or lifelong illness, disabilities, and children fallen officers. Twice a week, a family is asked to bring 30 friends and family to help their son or daughter become a superhero for the night. For one evening, the child leaves behind doctors, pokes and prods; his/her parents are able to put authentic smiles on their faces as they watch their child transform from sick, reserved and unsure into an energetic superhero during their visit to the Colten Cowell Memorial Crime Fighting Cave

Since 2009, the Colten Cowell Foundation has donated more $2,200,000 to 300+ charities, serving more than 950 families and impacting nearly 16,000 lives.
