Info: Arrive early to grab your spot, enjoy music from our live DJ, and settle in before the event begins. Light bites and refreshments will be available as guests connect and explore the space.

Info: Our evening begins with the heart of Legacy in Bloom — the kids. These young entrepreneurs will showcase their creativity through vendor tables featuring their products, art, and ideas. Their energy and innovation are the reason this event exists: to raise funds that make our programs more accessible and ensure more children have the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. Come shop, celebrate their hard work, and see the future in action.

Info: During this session, we’ll highlight and thank the incredible sponsors who made this event possible. Each sponsor will have the chance to share about their brand and impact, giving guests a deeper look into the partners that help our mission bloom. Guests can also enjoy light networking while browsing raffle items, bidding on auction pieces, and receiving a one-of-a-kind custom embroidered affirmation shirt — a keepsake to remind you of the power of legacy and community.

Info: This powerful conversation will bring together leaders in law, media, psychology, education, and creative industries to explore two critical barriers to growth: the poverty mindset and the struggles of overcoming personal vices. Our panelists will share personal insights, professional expertise, and practical strategies for breaking cycles that hold individuals and communities back.
Through raw dialogue and community engagement, this session will challenge perspectives, inspire hope, and equip guests with tools to rise above limiting beliefs and destructive patterns. It’s more than a discussion — it’s a chance to spark transformation.

Info: The excitement continues as we reveal the winners of our art auction and raffle prizes. Guests will have the chance to take home inspiring works of art and exclusive giveaways, all while supporting Legacy in Bloom’s mission to expand access to creative and entrepreneurial programs for youth. Every bid and ticket helps plant seeds of opportunity — so your win is also a win for the next generation. ?✨

Info: We’ll end the evening in celebration and connection. Guests are invited to mingle, exchange ideas, and build relationships that strengthen our creative community. Throughout the hour, enjoy personalized custom embroidered affirmation shirts as a keepsake of the night, light bites, and a festive champagne toast to honor our sponsors, panelists, and the youth who inspire our mission. It’s the perfect moment to reflect, connect, and raise a glass to the legacy we’re building together. ?✨
