Mahalo to Scott Drexler from Photos on Maui for donating
his time and talent to help us capture the magic and excitement that was
Growing Dreams 2013: Flora Couture!

In 2013 an original watercolor entitled ‘Live for Today’ by local artist and philanthropist Leslie Granat was the symbolic image of the Growing Dreams event. Granat, who tragically and suddenly passed away in 2015, was a longtime supporter of MYFS and said her rendition of a red hibiscus flower, which famously only blooms for one day, “is a perfect memento of this event because when you are working with troubled youth you have to remind them to take one day at a time so that they can be grateful for each day that they have.”

A few signed, limited edition ‘Live for Today’ prints are still available for purchase in commemoration of the Growing Dreams 2013 luncheon for $50. It is a perfect memento both for those who attended and those who could not come and proceeds will contribute to our fundraising efforts.
