LACE UP AND KICK IT! SECOND ANNUAL SNEAKER BALL FUNDRAISER

Posted

WINSTON-SALEM, NC ⸻ The Psi Phi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. is partnering with the Winston-Salem Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. to present the second annual Sneaker Ball fundraiser. The event takes place on October 26 at 8 p.m. at Kaleideum, 120 W. Third St., in downtown Winston-Salem. The festive fundraiser will feature a cover band, DJ, karaoke, and vendors – all providing an opportunity to dance, network, and mingle with a purpose: literacy initiatives for Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools students.

“Our party with a purpose Sneaker Ball aligns with the ideals established by our fraternity’s founding fathers,” said Psi Phi Chapter Basileus Richard Watkins. “Helping to educate our youth has been a hallmark and one of the pillars in the 113-year history of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc.” Those attending will enjoy festivities on each of the space’s four levels including a rooftop that features a spectacular cityscape. The floating event also will have an outdoor cigar lounge. Included in the elegant evening will be a selection of heavy hors d’oeuvres, savory desserts, and cash bars throughout the venue. Attendees can enjoy plenty of available hourly paid parking at the Liberty Plaza Parking Garage on Town Run Lane and the Third Street Parking Deck at the corner of Third and Main Streets. Kaleideum, which opened at its new elaborate location last year, is the result of a merger between two community nonprofit icons benefitting children – The Children’s Museum and SciWorks.

More than 600 partygoers attended the inaugural Sneaker Ball in 2023 that was held at the Winston-Salem Dash Concourse. Tickets for this year’s event are $75 and are available at eventbrite.com/e/2024- sneaker-ball-fundraiser-tickets-995643204627?aff=erelexpmlt.com. Through a partnership with the nonprofit Delta Research and Education Foundation, a portion of the ticket cost is tax deductible.
