This isn’t just a masquerade; it’s a movement. Every ticket purchased, every sponsorship pledged, helps plant seeds of opportunity, education, and hope in the lives of the children we serve. Your participation will help sustain ConnectiKids' mission to connect students facing systemic inequities and other barriers with people, places, and experiences that level the playing field and inspire academic achievement, positive life choices, and big dreams.

ConnectiKids fulfills its youth-empowering, equity-advancing mission in partnership with schools, families, and the community. We provide one-on-one academic tutoring, individualized mentoring, arts and enrichment programs, and community-based learning experiences during the academic year and summer. These connections and opportunities motivate historically underserved kids to embrace high expectations, overcome adversity, and reach their full potential.

By attending Masquerade in Bloom or becoming a sponsor, you’re helping ConnectiKids continue its mission of empowering Hartford’s youth through vital academic support and social-emotional development. Your contribution directly fuels programs that inspire confidence, ignite potential, and create brighter futures for the children we serve.

This is more than a celebration; it’s a chance to make a lasting impact. Join us in planting the seeds of change and watching our community’s youth bloom.
