SUMMARY:73rd Annual Charity Ball: A Night at the Ramsey - Junior League of Gainesville-Hall County
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 73rd annual Charity Ball – A Night at the Ramsey; an Upscale 80’s Experience! This year’s ball will feature the Band-X\, bringing the best of the decade’s music to life\, as well as a curated dinner by locally renowned Chef David. Doors open at 7:00pm. Buffet will open at 8:00pm. Donations\, silent auction\, and raffle will close promptly at 9:15pm. \nFor over 70 years\, the Junior League of Gainesville Hall County has hosted Charity Ball to help raise funds and serve community needs. Our annual Charity Ball event provides high school young women an opportunity to work together with a local civic club or non-profit organization to serve their community by raising funds that will be given back to local organizations supported by the Junior League. The funds the Belle candidates raise have reached in the hundreds of thousands in past years\, most of which is delegated towards many Junior League internal projects focused on childhood hunger\, wellness\, and nutrition in the Gainesville and Hall County communities and school systems in need. A portion of the funds raised are also set aside for a Signature Grant\, a $75\,000 grant that will be awarded in 2026 to a nonprofit organization in the area. \nCLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR TICKETS
