A Blooming Bash

Riviera Ridge School’s floral-themed annual gala truly bloomed, with more than 250 guests at the Rosewood Miramar more than surpassing its $200,000 fundraising goal.

With lush floral centerpieces adorning each table in the Chandelier Room, and whimsical six-foot tall papier mâché filling the space, the Spirit Blooms bash was led by Katrina Sprague and Mari Eickmeier, and co-chairs Ivana Firestone, Analise Maggio, Alexandra Ramirez, with ubiquitous emcee Andrew Firestone.

Live auction item included a week at an Italian villa, a stunning painting by Jill Vaccaro, and school-oriented perks, including VIP parking and a youngster becoming Head of School for the Day.

A new community video honoring the school’s ideology of “Small Steps to Big Futures” was shown.

Later in the night guests danced the night away to DJ Gavin Roy.
