The ninth Charleston Mayor’s Charity Ball will be this Saturday (March 29), beginning at 6 p.m., in Alford’s Gym on the campus of Charleston Middle School.
Tickets are $45 and may be purchased at Charleston City Hall and the CARE building.
The Charity Ball of Charleston Mayor Sedrick Smith benefits the American Cancer Society. The black-tie gala features a buffet-style meal catered by Gweneshia Weston, certified caterer with “Made With Love” in Batesville, as well as a formal program of speakers and special presentations followed by an evening of live music and dance.
The Mayor’s Charity Ball Committee donates a portion of the proceeds from the event to the local chapter of the ACS, which uses contributions to help cancer patients in Tallahatchie County with support including general monetary gifts, the gifting of hair pieces, transportation to medical facilities and more.
