Step into spring with style and heart at Miriam School and Learning Center’s Minds in Bloom Annual Auction & Dinner!
This year’s theme, Boots & Bloom, invites guests to dress in their best western-inspired attire. Think “Sunday best meets cowboy chic.” Whether that’s your favorite boots paired with a dress or blazer, or a touch of rustic flair, you’ll fit right in.
Enjoy a relaxed, uplifting evening featuring dinner, drinks, live auctions, raffles, and stories that showcase the life-changing impact of Miriam’s mission. Together, we’ll raise critical funds for scholarships and programs that empower students with learning differences, including ADHD, autism, anxiety, and sensory challenges, to learn, grow, and thrive.
Come as you are, stay for the cause, and help us make a difference. One student at a time.
