2 Weeks Left to Bloom Together. There’s Still Time to Make a Big Impact for Kids!
Hey, friends!
There are just two weeks left in our Bloom Together Campaign, and we need your help to meet this moment.
Whether you’ve already given, shared our campaign, or simply cheered us on, thank you! Your support makes a real difference for children and families across King and Pierce Counties.
If you haven’t had a chance to give yet, now is the time. Critical early learning programs are facing funding cuts this summer, and your gift can help us push back.
This campaign is about showing up—for kids, for caregivers and child care providers, and for a future where every child can thrive in nurturing, antiracist early learning communities.
Here’s where we urgently need your support:
Family, Friend, and Neighbor (FFN) Care
This trusted, culturally responsive form of care—relied on by families who can’t access traditional child care—is set to lose all state funding starting July 2025. Without action now, that transition begins this summer.
Holding Hope: Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health
Funding for this vital program has already been cut in half, reducing our team of mental health consultants from nine to just two. That means fewer children, families, and providers will get the support they need to navigate emotional, behavioral, and trauma-related challenges.
Here’s how you can help:
- Donate to our Bloom Together Fundraiser
- Follow BrightSpark on social media and share our posts
- Use the hashtags: #BloomTogether to help us spread the word
- Invite a friend to give and grow the impact
With your support, we can stand strong in this pivotal moment—and protect what matters most.
Thank you for being a champion for early learning.
Let’s Bloom Together—for kids, for families, and for the future we all deserve.
With deep appreciation,
The BrightSpark Team
