We are still smiling thinking about our Blooms & Besties evening in May. It was such a joy to gather with so many wonderful women for a night of connection, creativity, education and purpose at Shero Imaging.

From building beautiful bouquets to meaningful conversations shared throughout the evening, it was a reminder of how powerful it is to simply slow down and spend intentional time together. Dr. Tish Singer, owner of Shero Imaging, did a tour and share information on breast imaging and the need for better process and solutions to more effectively address women’s health issues.

One of the most special parts of the night was giving back. Together, we collected feminine hygiene products that were donated to the St. Louis Diaper Bank, helping support individuals and families across our community.

To everyone who joined us — thank you. It’s events like these that make what we do so meaningful. 💛
