On Saturday, November 1, 2025, BLU by ThriveWell™ was honored to host the Youth Impact Center’s (YIC) Annual Impact One Fundraising Gala, a distinguished event dedicated to empowering and uplifting the next generation of leaders. The evening served as a declaration of purpose, bringing together the Fort Lauderdale community, dedicated partners, and passionate supporters to advance the mission of the Youth Impact Center, which supports young members in reaching their full academic, athletic, and life potential. They take a heart-istic approach to mentoring.
Guests enjoyed a vibrant and engaging evening featuring fine dining, live entertainment, and inspiring personal stories from students whose lives have been transformed through the Center’s programs. A silent auction added to the excitement, offering attendees an opportunity to contribute further to initiatives that directly impact youth development and success.
The program also included special recognition of outstanding students and community leaders who exemplify resilience, leadership, and commitment to positive change. Their achievements served as powerful reminders of the lasting impact that mentorship, education, and community support can create.
BLU by ThriveWell’s™ commitment to creating spaces that inspire connection and growth aligns closely with the Youth Impact Center’s mission to empower young people to reach their full potential.
Funds raised during the gala will directly support programs designed to cultivate confidence, leadership, and academic success among youth throughout South Florida. Each contribution helps ensure that more young people have access to the resources, mentorship, and opportunities they need to thrive.
