Chapter I

The Arrival

Boots polished. Bling on. As the sun went down over Cape Coral, the doors opened and Southwest Florida walked in dressed for a blessing.

Chapter II

Dinner & the Mission Moment

Then the room grew still for the reason we gather: the stories behind every scholarship, and the hope that follows when someone finally gets the care they need.

When Southwest Florida shows up like this, lives change.

Chapter III

Paddles Up

When the auctioneer took the stage, the paddles flew. Every bid became a session, and every session became a neighbor who no longer has to wait.

Chapter IV

Boots on the Dance Floor

And when the giving was done, the dancing began. Line dances, spins, and boots on the floor, all the way to the very last song.

Until the very last song.

Where It Goes

The Night Is Over.
The Mission Isn’t.

The $83,538.29 raised at Boots, Bling & Blessings goes to LWM Scholarships, covering part or all of the cost of therapy for individuals and families living in Southwest Florida, with clinicians in our approved Southwest Florida network.

Missed the night? You can still be part of the blessing. About $51 covers one therapy session for a neighbor in need.
