BLOOM
THE CHANGE FOR YOUTH FOUNDATION ANNUAL GALA LUNCHEON
BLOOM is a
celebration of possibility
Today we gather not only for a beautiful lunch, but to stand behind the life-changing work of Change for Youth Foundation. The Foundation
supports children and young people living in out-of-home care who have experienced abuse, neglect and instability – ensuring they are surrounded
by care, guidance and opportunity. The Empower Youth Program brings consistent education and wellbeing support into a young person’s home,
working in structured partnership with teachers and all those walking alongside them – rebuilding confidence, restoring connection, and
opening the door to a hopeful future. Thank you for being here and for helping young lives truly bloom
