Sipping, Smiling, and Shining: A Heartfelt Recap of High Tea for T 2025

Wow. We’re still smiling.
On June 29, 2025, we hosted our High Tea for T — and it was nothing short of magical. Held on what would have been Tionne’s birthday, the day was a perfect blend of elegance, emotion, and inspiration.
From the gorgeous tea table settings to the pink balloon release in honor of Tionne, every detail was created with love — and every guest brought the warmth to match. We laughed, we cried, and most importantly, we poured into one another just like Tionne would have done.
Highlights That Touched Our Hearts:
✨A beautiful welcome from Tionne’s big sister, Tiara
✨The introduction of our radiant 2025 recipients, Jada Johnson and Amber Woullard
✨A powerful moment from our past recipients who sent in video messages of love and gratitude
✨And a deeply moving balloon release — a reminder that Tionne’s spirit is still with us in every breeze and every smile.
The MLK Cheer Squad showed up in style and helped the event run smoothly with their grace and energy. Our donors and sponsors made this day possible, and we’re so grateful for your continued belief in this vision.
Why This Matters
High Tea for T isn’t just an event. It’s a reminder of what happens when community, memory, and mission come together. Through the Tionne Thomas Scholarship Fund, we’ve awarded book scholarships since 2019 — and we’re just getting started.
Thank you to everyone who came, volunteered, gave, or cheered us on from afar.
Your love continues to turn grief into growth — and dreams into reality.
