Make your community bloom! Spend the afternoon with Nova Vita as we walk guests through a guided bouquet-making workshop with floral expert Concession Road Garden, while enjoying a delightful high-tea service at the River’s Edge at the Arlington in Paris.

In addition to making their very own bouquet to take home among the stunning views of the Grand River, guests will be able to bid on prizes at the silent auction table, have a chance to win incredible door prizes, snap a selfie at the photo activation station, and enjoy time with friends and family while raising essential funds for Nova Vita, the only women's shelter servicing Brantford & Brant County. As part of this special event, guests will also have a chance to learn about BLOSSOM, a way to navigate difficult conversations with those in their lives who may be experiencing abuse. This event offers an incredible opportunity to grow, learn, and bloom.

Fundraising events like these not only help Nova Vita raise funds and support for our 24 hour emergency shelter, but they also help to raise awareness and increase visibility of our essential services to those that may need it. By supporting Blooms of Hope, you could be helping to save a life. 

As Nova Vita's newest fundraiser, we hope to reach and engage a whole new audience with this multi-generational, interactive event. The event will feature a Silent Auction, Penny Sale Auction, door prizes, and more. As a prize donor, we would be happy to showcase your support with signage on the event day, acknowledgement in event program and presentation, and promotion of your prize donation in participant emails and in tagged social media posts. Your prize donation can help make this first-time event a success! Learn more about Blooms of Hope, or join us at the event by purchasing tickets at novavita.org/participate.
