For 51 years, Snow Ball has been a legacy of love for Catholic Charities Foundation of Northeast Kansas. This year, we are honored to celebrate that legacy through the 51st Annual Snow Ball gala on January 18, 2025 at the Overland Park Convention Center.   Snow Ball is a celebration of many months of hard work by teams of volunteers. Unique in the fact that there is NO fundraising at the event, Snow Ball truly sets itself apart as one of the biggest and best parties of the year.  Your participation – either through a Patron Gift or by attending – enables Catholic Charities to continue to provide help, hope and hospitality to the most vulnerable throughout our communities. Although Snow Ball raises significant funds, even if we raised more, there would still be needs in our community to be met. Join us for this epic celebration of gratitude, love and life-changing hope! 6 PM- Reception 7:30 PM- Program & Dinner, Dancing to follow Please visit snowballgala.org for more information. Tables and individual tickets are available for purchase.
