Carry the season of giving into the New Year. Support the 51^st Annual Snow Ball benefiting Catholic Charities Foundation of Northeast Kansas by making a financial gift or attending the event on Saturday, January 18, 2025, at the Overland Park Convention Center. Ninety-one cents of every dollar raised through Snow Ball helps Catholic Charities provide more than 30 life-changing programs serving over 70,000 individuals.

Chris and Angie Dierks and Doug and Kara Ciocca, who have been actively engaged with Snow Ball for nearly 20 years, are presidents of this year’s black-tie event. Over 2,000 supporters are expected to attend the evening, which will include a cocktail reception, sit-down dinner and dancing to the music by The Crossroad Sound. Unlike most charitable events, there is no financial ask the night of Snow Ball. All funds are raised prior to the evening.

Snow Ball has become one of the largest charitable events in the Kansas City area, raising a record breaking $5.2 million last year in honor of its golden anniversary. Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas relies on the event to help meet the growing need to feed, clothe and house individuals and families; provide further education to attain job skills for the unemployed and underemployed; secure employment at a livable wage; and much more.

“Snow Ball is a vessel to serve those who are marginalized, vulnerable and in need of assistance,” said Lauren Solidum, President and CEO, Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas.  “Through a meaningful gift to Snow Ball, you will help Catholic Charities provide help, hope and hospitality and remove the barriers of poverty that keep individuals and families from achieving self-sufficiency.”
