INN Bloom 2025: A Luncheon for a Cause

The Samaritan Inn, a pivotal organization aiding the unhoused communities in North Texas, is gearing up for its much-anticipated annual charity luncheon, INN Bloom 2025. This year's event is set to take place on April 4, 2025, starting at 11:30 AM at the elegant Renaissance Dallas at Plano Legacy West Hotel. Mark your calendars for a day filled with inspiration and philanthropy.

Celebrated Guests and Honorees

This year's luncheon will feature keynote speaker Nancy Lieberman, an esteemed member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Lieberman's accolades include being a two-time Olympian silver medalist, a BIG3 head coach, and a champion who emphasizes philanthropy. For almost a decade, she has been a vital ally of The Samaritan Inn, launching the Nancy Lieberman Charities to foster educational and athletic opportunities for disadvantaged youth in the area. In addition, she has provided scholarships to facilitate the attendance of resident children at her basketball camps, broadening their horizons through sports.

The event will be moderated by the charismatic Gina Miller, a celebrated journalist who holds substantial roles, including Vice President of Broadcasting for FC Dallas. Gina has played a crucial role in bringing the FIFA World Cup 2026 to the Dallas area. Her extensive experience in media as well as her engagement in community activities make her a perfect fit to lead this noteworthy gathering.

Event Highlights

Attendees will enjoy a delightful luncheon accompanied by a lively mimosa bar, providing the perfect ambiance for networking and engagement. There will also be an opportunity to meet Nancy Lieberman and Gina Miller in a VIP setting. Furthermore, the INN Bloom Youth Award will be presented to Jaxson Turner from the Never 2 Young 2 Care Charity, recognizing his outstanding strength, leadership, and commitment to aiding others.

This annual fundraising endeavor aims to enhance the lives of those battling homelessness, with all proceeds directed towards bolstering the critical mission of The Samaritan Inn, which focuses on helping individuals regain dignity and achieve independence. As noted by Kellie Maynard, Chief Development Officer, this initiative marks the sixth year of what has become a much-loved tradition, drawing an audience of over 600 in previous iterations since its inception in 2017.
