BALDWIN BLOOMS is the primary fundraiser for the Friends of Baldwin, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer-led organization that works to strengthen the Maria L. Baldwin Elementary School, a public PK-5 school in Cambridge, MA. Our mission is to support the school community and enrich the educational experience of our students, ensuring that all children can take part in all of the school's field trips, cultural events, and other activities regardless of their economic situation.

BALDWIN BLOOMS 2023 is a community social event whose centerpiece is a week-long online auction to raise funds for the Baldwin school. The week starts on May 7, 2023, with an in-person kick-off that will bring the whole community together for an ice cream social with free Ben & Jerry's ice cream for all attendees. BALDWIN BLOOMS is an event for all caregivers of children at the school, as well as faculty, staff, and Cambridge community members. The auction runs online from May 7 through May 14 on the ClickBid Auction Platform.
