I’m excited but nervous to carry on what has been a family tradition for years. Every fall, my mother and her sisters have hosted a tea party as a fundraiser for cancer care, and this year I’m taking up the mantle.
This photo of my mother and her sisters was taken at one of their tea party fundraisers for cancer care. One is a survivor. One we lost. Together, they built a tradition of gathering each fall to support others through flowers, food, and fellowship. Sprout + Sip is my way of continuing that legacy here in Norfolk.
On October 11, I hope you’ll join me in The Studio for Sprout + Sip, a floral tea pop-up in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Together we’ll share flowers, tea, and fellowship while raising funds for Faces of Cancer in St. Lucia, an organization that provides care and advocacy for people living with cancer and the families who care for them.
Your ticket includes a bouquet from Sprout, tea service with light refreshments, and one raffle entry featuring items from local makers. Most of all, it’s an afternoon to honor the people we love and support the care that continues.
Sprout + Sip takes place on Saturday, October 11 from 1–4 PM at The Studio in Norfolk. Seats are limited. Reserve your place at the table today. Finest tea party attire encouraged, in your own interpretation.
