Gathering to give
The Crescent City Sneaker Ball is a celebration centered around reasons, not royalty. Our aim is to engage professionals across the city in an experience that leaves a positive print on our community.
Each year, we select a specific community impact focus. We turn our guests into philanthropists by having them bring tangible items to the event. To double down on our impact, we couple these donated items with a monetary gift to provide one transformational donation to a local nonprofit organization.
We are broadening the avenues of "traditional philanthropy"; and we're having a good time while we do it. By incorporating philanthropy into the Crescent City Sneaker Ball, we assure that each time we convene, we are not just gathering - we are giving.
