A sellout crowd of more than 220 people gathered at the beautiful Long Hollow Gardens and Vineyards on Friday night, March 6, to support the programs and agencies of United Way of Sumner County at the annual Bloomin’ Bash Gala & Auction fundraising event. We are still finalizing numbers for the night, but we expect proceeds from the Bloomin' Bash to exceed $52,000 when our books are closed.
The success of the Bloomin’ Bash is the result of the efforts of hundreds of people, and our organization is thankful for every one of them. Thank you to the UWSC Board of Directors, all of our guests, those who donated auction items, and the following for being a part of a great night that will create a positive impact in our community.
Venue: The Scott Family graciously donated the use of their incredible facility Long Hollow Gardens and Vineyards for the Bloomin’ Bash. We couldn’t ask for more gracious, giving, and accommodating hosts.
