"I bloom."
Floresco Gala 2024
Hosted by Great Hearts Irving Upper School
Please join the parents and faculty of Great Hearts Irving, graciously hosted by the Upper School, for an adult evening celebrating and contributing towards the exceptional education our students receive at Great Hearts Irving. Our unique curriculum and culture champions culturally-literate, free-thinking, well rounded, and virtuous young people. In Latin, Floresco means “I bloom” and that is exactly what our students do.
The Floresco Gala will be held on Saturday, April 6, 2024 at The Westin DFW from 6:30-11:00 pm. Dress your best while enjoying a delicious plated dinner, an amazing auction, and dancing to the sounds of DJ Che Walker, a proud parent of GHI.
Silent Auction
Our silent auction is filled with a wide collection of amazing items donated by local restaurants, hotels, spas, family activities, services, and more. The silent auction or social fundraiser is an opportunity to chat about the items in the auction, get excited about giving, and go home with something you love. How can you help with the success of the silent auction? The committee needs help soliciting local businesses, picking up donated items, setting up and presentation of the auction on the day of the event, and other clerical tasks. This is a big group effort. We want you to be a part of the fun.
The incredible auction for the Floresco Gala is live! What does that mean? It means you can go shopping. So many great things to buy Check out the restaurants, hotels, vacation packages, parties, art, Ranger tickets, bicycles, wine tastings, kid activities, sports memorabilia, and so much more!! Our online auction shopping is better than Amazon. Start bidding NOW! Must be registered to place a bid.
