Bloom 2020

Exciting Changes are On the Horizon for Our 16th Annual Bloom for Stepping Stones!

In its 16th year, Stepping Stones’ signature Bloom gala benefits our life-strengthening programs for children, teens and adults with disabilities.

Co-chaired by Mendy and Dr. Andrew Ringer, this year’s Virtual Bloom is an online-only event with attendees that will connect remotely from wherever they are, instead of gathering in-person. Stepping Stones needs your support more than ever and we invite you to join us for virtual fun – music, cooking demonstrations, silent auction, raffle and more! Allie Martin from WCPO’s Cincy Lifestyle will be emceeing this year’s virtual event. Via Vite and Forno’s own Chef Cristian Pietoso will be showing us one of his favorite recipes with bourbon as the special ingredient!

How to tune in to the event:
Visit ita.com/virtual-bloom at the time of the event. Participate in our silent auction at VirtualBloom.givesmart.com.

Cost:
