Our Sneaker Ball Gala is a dynamic and impactful evening that begins at 5:30 PM with an exclusive VIP reception, where honored guests will enjoy early access to the festivities, accompanied by a captivating performance from Violinist Music by Dalla. At 7:00 PM, the main gala program kicks off with a sit-down dinner, featuring a dynamic program of inspiring speeches, awards presentations, and a powerful keynote address by John Hope. Saxophonist Cstaggz will set the tone with a soulful performance at the beginning of the gala.

During dinner, guests will have the opportunity to participate in an electrifying live auction, led by the dynamic DJ Don Juan, where exclusive items will be up for grabs. We’ll also host a "Raise the Paddle" segment, encouraging direct donations to further our cause. As the evening continues, the celebration will transition into a two-hour after-party, where guests can dance the night away to the beats of DJ Holy Mecca.

This event directly benefits individuals with special needs through the programs of Dominique Cares, Kingdom Performance, and Special Needs Academy. The funds raised will provide crucial resources, support, and opportunities for individuals with disabilities, enriching their lives and the lives of their families. Whether you're stepping up as a sponsor or joining us with a general admission ticket, your presence at the Sneaker Ball Gala will make a lasting impact in our community.
