“LUAU IN THE GARDEN”
Hawaiian party of the year!
April 7, 2022 | 6:00 PM
We hosted our 6th Annual BloomFest, Luau in the Garden! The evening couldn’t be any more perfect. We had some of our clients sing their favorite song for our guests, followed by a terrific Hawaiian show by the Aloha Islanders. Boca Pointe Clowns on Call came by to make sure guests and clients enjoy balloon twisting, face painting, and more! Our Tropical Oasis room provided information about all of our programs at the Center. Guests had opportunities to win from many of the great raffles and silent auction items while devouring the many food & beverages at the event with the Pig Roast being the highlight. The night ended beautifully.
All of the proceeds from the event will benefit HabCenter and its programs for our clients! We are so thankful to each and everyone who made this event a success.
