Bloom Parham was proud to host a table at the Boys & Girls Clubs of America Southeast Youth of the Year Celebration last night, an event that raised more than $1.5 million for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. For many years, our firm has been a dedicated supporter of this celebration, and we are proud to stand behind an organization that does so much to empower young people and open doors to brighter futures.

The evening was a powerful reminder of the talent, resilience, and promise of the youth the Boys & Girls Clubs serve. Each of the Youth of the Year candidates shared a story that was as inspiring as it was personal, and their poise and accomplishments left a lasting impression on everyone in the room. On behalf of the entire firm, we extend our congratulations to Kate P., the 2026 Military Youth of the Year, and to Enrique R.L., the 2026 Southeast Youth of the Year. We could not be prouder of all they have achieved, and we look forward to the impact they will continue to make in their communities.

Bloom Parham’s founding partner, Simon Bloom, has been a long-time supporter of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.  He has served on the national organization’s board and continues to serve on the board of the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Atlanta and as a Southeast Trustee. Simon’s wife, Ellie, is also an active supporter of the organization and served as a judge for the Military Youth of the Year competition.  “Serving as a judge for this year’s competition was one of the most inspiring experiences I could have asked for,” said Ellie Bloom. “Hearing these remarkable young candidates share their journeys, their challenges, and their dreams was deeply moving, and it was a true honor to play even a small part in recognizing everything they have accomplished.”  Reflecting on his years of service to the organization, Simon emphasized, “my commitment to the Boys & Girls Clubs runs deep, and it only grows stronger every year. When you see the impact this organization has on the lives of young people, the doors it opens and the futures it helps to make possible, you cannot help but want to do everything you can to support it.” The entire firm is honored to share in the personal commitments of Simon and Ellie.
