“Bloom in Style” Luncheon & Silent Auction to Benefit Survivors of Sex Trafficking & Exploitation in the Lehigh Valley
[June 2, 2025, SAUCON VALLEY, PA] – Bloom, an organization dedicated to providing sanctuary and a continuum of care to heal, empower and employ survivors of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation in the Lehigh Valley, is delighted to announce a new premier fundraising event, “Bloom In Style,” an elegant afternoon dedicated to fashion, philanthropy, and community connection. This highly anticipated event will take place on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at 11:30 AM at the picturesque Saucon Valley Country Club. There are a few remaining tickets available.
Attendees will enjoy a refined dining experience, thought-provoking discussions, and the opportunity to engage with inspiring women who are making a difference. The luncheon will also feature a Handbag & Accessories Silent Auction, offering an exclusive selection of designer and vintage handbags, scarves, wallets, and belts. Guests are encouraged to dress in their finest attire and don a fashionable hat to embrace the spirit of the event.
The event aims to raise crucial funds for Bloom’s programs that provide sanctuary and a continuum of care to survivors of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation. “Every ticket purchased, and every item bid on in the silent auction directly supports the women we serve,” said Carol Andersen, CEO of Bloom. “This event is a celebration of fashion and freedom – and all that is possible when women show up for each other with open hands and open hearts.”
Bloom is grateful to our event sponsors.
