Join us for the Young 9 Foundation Sneaker Ball, founded by Carolina Panthers Quarterback and 2021 Heisman Trophy Winner Bryce Young. Bryce launched this foundation with a mission to ensure every young person has access to the tools and support they need to prioritize their mental health and thrive in all areas of life.
This gala-style event will bring together community leaders, supporters, and special guests for a night of inspiration, entertainment, and giving back. Bring your style A-game: classic black-tie or cocktail wear with sneakers that make a statement! Proceeds will support the Young 9 Foundation and our 2 beneficiaries Hopeway and Katie Blessing Center. We will be showcasing these amazing mental health organizations and highlighting the impact that our foundation has on the youth and families it serves.
