Now in its 34th year, the Snow Ball gala, part of the annual Festival of Trees & Lights, is one of the largest annual fundraisers for Norton Children’s Hospital. This black-tie event features a magical evening of cocktails, live entertainment, dancing and a gourmet dinner.

Upon entering the gala, you will be surrounded on all sides with the sparkle of holiday lights in a room transformed into a magnificent winter wonderland. A silent auction will be open during the cocktail hour, and will include luxury items such as fine dining experiences, jewelry, trips and more.  We will also offer a superb bourbon raffle throughout the evening.

After the five-course meal, you will enjoy dancing and live music from Burning Las Vegas, followed by our end of evening experience complete with hot chocolate and a coffee bar, sweet treats and a special take home gift for each guest. 

The Snow Ball gala has become one of Louisville’s most fashionable and hottest events, and it is one you will not want to miss!

This year, all funds raised through the Snow Ball will benefit “Just for Kids” Transport Team at Norton Children’s Hospital, which plays an integral role in ensuring that infants, children and young adults have access to the care they need, regardless of their location.  This team operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, bringing more than 3,000 children to the hospital annually by ambulance, helicopter or airplane.  Transport team members are dedicated to working with ill and injured newborn and pediatric patients and are equipped to provide specialized care while traveling.
