✍️✨ ANOTHER WRAPPED IN HOPE SHOUTOUT! 💙💚

One of the COOLEST additions to our Wrapped in Hope Gala had to be Sketchbot! 😍

A huge thank you to Emily from Event Captura for bringing such a unique and fun experience to our guests! Watching Sketchbot turn photos into personalized sketches was so much fun — and everyone got to take home a special keepsake from the night. 🫶

Emily, thank you for helping us add a little extra FUN to our first-ever gala and for being part of such a special evening for My Very Own Blanket!

🌸💙 A VERY SPECIAL GALA SHOUTOUT! 💚🌸

Our Wrapped in Hope Gala would not have been nearly as beautiful without our amazing committee member, Heidi!

Not only did Heidi spend months helping us plan and prepare for our first-ever gala, she also took on the role of our floral décor coordinator and brought her incredible talent through her business, The Centerpiece Studio. 🌿✨

From the vision to the design to executing every arrangement, Heidi created the most gorgeous floral pieces that completely transformed the room. Every detail was beautiful and helped make the evening feel so special. 🌸

Heidi, thank you for sharing your time, creativity, talent and heart with My Very Own Blanket. We are so lucky to have you on our committee — and WOW, did you make our gala beautiful! 💙💚

👏 Please help us give some love to Heidi & The Centerpiece Studio!
