Bloom Hosts Annual Fundraising Gala for Foster Children with Special Guests Brad Nitz & Andrew Stanley

An Unforgettable Evening Honoring the Journey of Foster Children Like Maddie

FAYETTEVILLE, GA – Get ready for an evening to remember at the 21st anniversary of the Bloom Ball on Saturday, May 10th, from 6 to 10 p.m., at the Georgia Aquarium! This 2025 gala promises to be more spectacular than ever, featuring an incredible lineup of entertainment, including WSB-TV’s Chief Meteorologist Brad Nitz and nationally renowned comedian Andrew Stanley.

In addition to enjoying a fun night out, guests will have the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of Georgia’s foster children. The Bloom Ball raises crucial funds to support Bloom’s mission: to provide safe, nurturing foster homes, clothing, toys, school supplies, and basic needs for thousands of vulnerable foster children across Georgia.

This year at Bloom Ball, guests will hear the inspiring story of Maddie, a medically fragile foster child who found stability, love, and a forever home through Bloom. Maddie and her family are excited to attend this year’s Bloom Ball, and we hope you will join us to celebrate her journey.

“Attending the Bloom Ball is one of the best ways to support foster children in need,” said CEO of Bloom, Becky Davenport. “Every ticket purchased for Bloom Ball helps provide clothing, essentials, and resources to Georgia’s foster children.”

The 2025 Bloom Ball is presented by SMC3, a logistics transportation company based in Peachtree City. For more information, to become a sponsor, or to purchase tickets, visit bloomball2025.givesmart.com.
