Thank you all for making Bloom Hits South Beach such an amazing party. Crazy fun as always!
The Bloom 2011 committee (that’s a good portion of the committee in the photo above) met last week to review the final numbers from this year’s event. And we are ecstatic that $210,000 was raised as a result of this single event!
A record-setting $133,000 was collected in sponsorships, $10,250 from patrons and $30,700 in ticket sales.
$18,073 was raised during the silent auction, $13,850 was collected during the fund-a-need auction during the party and $4,325 was donated by folks who couldn’t attend this year (we call them “darn” donations).
A very solid six-figures will be going to the Kansas City Free Health Clinic as a result of YOUR generosity – and we couldn’t be happier.
