"I bloom."

What Is Floresco?

Floresco, a Latin word meaning “I bloom,” is a gala fundraiser event in celebration of and contributing toward the exceptional education students receive at Great Hearts Irving. At Great Hearts Irving, our unique curriculum and culture causes our scholars to “bloom” into culturally-literate, free-thinking, well-rounded, and, above all, virtuous young persons.

Our 6th Floresco gala will be held on Saturday, April 29th, 2023 at The Westin Dallas Park Central  and will include a delicious sit-down dinner, amazing auction, and entertainment by our own Great Hearts Irving faculty.

Silent Auction

A critical part of our fundraising effort for Floresco is the silent auction. Every year, the auction includes a wide collection of items donated by local restaurants, hotels, spas, family activities, services, items, and more. 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! Help make this the best auction ever. If you’re interested in volunteering to help with the silent auction, please email Keo.Strull@greatheartsirving.org.
