17th annual Bloomin’ Bash Our Benefit Auction will take place on Friday, March 23, 2012 at Le Fais do-do - a special event facility in the Westside of Atlanta. Our goal is to raise $42,000 for teacher support, general operations and our important scholarship fund. Bloomin’ Bash is a live and silent auction, evening (child-free) event with heavy hors d’oeuvre buffet, open bars and live entertainment - and is our single largest fundraiser of the year. For more than 29 years, our school has cared for and inspired young children in the community. With three PreK classes at full enrollment and a kindergarten class, the preschool has grown to serve more than 200 children. We proudly offer an inclusive preschool program that serves children with special needs. Located at the corner of Ponce de Leon Avenue and Briarcliff Road, our families come from many intown neighborhoods: Candler Park, Inman Park, Decatur, Druid Hills, East Atlanta, Grant Park, Kirkwood, Lake Claire, Morningside and Virginia-Highlands. We contribute to the community in a number of ways through our PTC (Parent-Teacher Connection), scholarships and a variety of service projects. The continued success of this fundraiser depends upon the generous support of our families and local businesses, and we welcome your participation. You can contribute by donating an item or service or become a Sponsor by making a monetary contribution at one of five giving levels. Donors will be recognized in the preschool newsletter, on the website, in the online auction catalog and on-site at the event. This is a well-attended event!
