A Night to Remember! Recap: Winnings for Wardrobes Sneaker Ball

Events | November 7, 2026

Our hearts are still overflowing from such an extraordinary evening! Our 2026 Sneaker Ball: Winnings for Wardrobes was an absolute blast. We brought a little Vegas flair to the room, but the real winning streak was the incredible generosity, spirit, and strength of our community.

When we come together, amazing things happen. Every ticket bought, every paddle raised, and every conversation shared was a testament to what we can achieve when our community steps up as one. Together, we are ensuring that local students receive more than just clothing; we are giving them the comfort, dignity, love and confidence they need to arrive at school ready to succeed every single day.

Your incredible kindness powers our mission and proves over and over again how unstoppable we are when we unite. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us, believing in our mission, and showing students that their community fully supports their future.

An event like this wouldn’t be possible without the incredible partners and local community who stand behind us. We want to express our deepest gratitude to:
