Dear Friends and Supporters of Bloom,

Welcome to our fundraising campaign to support our Desert Bloom Scholarship fund for our upcoming therapeutic canoe trip this October! We invite you to join us in creating empowering, connective, and healing spaces for women and non-binary folks through transformative river adventures.

Last year, we launched our long-held dream, Bloom River Journeys. Bloom is a collective of therapists, river guides, authors, artists, activists, and naturalists, all with a shared vision to intertwine multi-day river adventures with therapeutic group processes, creating spaces for healing, growth, and connection.

Our first year was a remarkable success, thanks to the overwhelming support of our community. With over 45% of participants benefiting from scholarships, we witnessed firsthand the profound impact of making these experiences accessible. We are committed to continuing this mission, acknowledging the high costs and inaccessibility often associated with river recreation, and striving to make our transformative journeys accessible and welcoming to folks from all backgrounds who could benefit from this experience.

By contributing to our scholarship fund, you’re not just offering financial support; you’re empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds to embark on life-changing journeys of healing and connection. Together, we can break down barriers and create pathways for more folks to experience the transformative magic of the river. Every donation helps us strive towards making river adventures more accessible and inclusive for all.

How You Can Help:

1. Donate: Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference. Your donation will go directly towards funding scholarships for deserving individuals to join our upcoming river trip.

2. Spread the Word: Share our campaign with your friends, family, and social networks. Together, we can expand our reach and create a greater impact.

3. Follow Our Journey: Follow us on Instagram and Facebook and sign up for our newsletter via our website to stay updated on our progress. We'll share stories, updates, and behind-the-scenes insights along the way.

Thank you for being a part of our community and joining us in this collective mission. Your support truly makes a difference and helps create opportunities for growth, healing, and joy for all who seek it.

With gratitude and love,

Sarrah and Sami
