4KIDS Galentines Title Sponsor

From the east to the west coast of Florida, hundreds of inspiring women gathered to celebrate friendship while championing a mission that changes lives. BLU was honored to serve as Title Sponsor for the annual 4KIDS Galentine's lunch, a beautiful afternoon overflowing with love, connection and purpose.

The day began with networking and a silent auction where guests connected in the indoor corridor of the beautiful Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa before transitioning into the main ballroom for the program. As Title Sponsor, BLU by ThriveWell^TM was honored to welcome attendees from the stage and share why supporting 4KIDS aligns so deeply with our commitment to whole-person wellness and community impact.

Dr. Jessica Chen, Chief Health & Wellness Officer at BLU, Board-certified Internal Medicine physician and Diplomat of the Board of Anti-aging and Metabolic Medicine delivered powerful remarks alongside Melissa Elswick of Crossway Church, a 4KIDS church partner, and Kim Sarni, Managing Director of South Florida Business and Wealth and Lifestyle Media Group.

Hearing the stories shared by these women, stories of resilience, faith, leadership, and transformation, was nothing short of moving. The interview portion of the program, followed by a heartfelt video and a call to generosity, reminded everyone in the room why this work matters. The afternoon concluded with a dessert reception on the Ocean Terrace, where conversations continued and connections deepened against a beautiful coastal backdrop.

"Galentine’s Day is about celebrating friendship and community, about choosing to show up for one another. And that’s not just beautiful socially… It’s powerful medically. Research shows that social isolation increases mortality risk by 25–30%. In other words, connection isn’t just nice to have, it’s life-giving." - Dr. Jessica Chen
