Blossoms of Hope Charity Gala Returns to Orange Beach for 13th Year

Orange Beach, Ala. — (OBA) — The Blossoms of Hope Charity Gala will return to Orange Beach for its thirteenth year, organizers announced. The event supports the Christian Service Center and its assistance programs for local families. It began as a small bike drive and has steadily expanded. Leaders say the gala has become one of the Gulf Coast’s significant nights of giving. Wildflowers Boutique continues to lead the annual effort. Organizers are encouraging community members, businesses, and visitors to participate. They say every contribution will help sustain food, clothing, and other essential services.


The 13th Annual Blossoms of Hope Charity Gala is scheduled for Saturday, November 15, from 6pm to 10pm. It will be held in the Perdido Beach Resort Grand Ballroom in Orange Beach. 


Event organizers said last year’s support set a record by raising more than $400,000. They are asking the Gulf Coast community to help exceed that mark this year. Suggested ways to help include sponsoring the gala, donating an auction item, or sharing the cause with others. The organization states that every dollar raised directly benefits the Christian Service Center.


The gala’s beneficiary, the Christian Service Center, provides food, clothing, and vital resources to families in need. Organizers say demand for assistance remains steady in coastal Baldwin County. They noted that proceeds from the gala help sustain year-round programs. Additional details about auction items and sponsorship levels were not included in the release.


Perdido Beach Resort has hosted many community and charity events. The resort’s Grand Ballroom is a frequent venue for regional gatherings. Attendees can expect a formal setting and a program focused on fundraising. Organizers emphasized community participation as the key to success.


Wildflowers Boutique has been involved with the event since its early days. The gala was formerly known as Toys for Kids, starting in 2012 with a bike drive. Over time, the effort expanded to support broader needs through the Christian Service Center. The rebranding to Blossoms of Hope reflects its wider mission.


Organizers are asking businesses to consider table or event sponsorships. They also encourage individuals to donate items for the auction. Supporters who cannot attend are invited to promote the cause locally and online. They say even small actions can help lift the total raised for services.


Community members across Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, Foley, and nearby areas often support the gala. Organizers hope that local generosity will once again help families through the holiday season. They said the goal is to keep hope growing across the Gulf Coast. More information is available at the event page.
