Why It Matters

The Sneaker Ball isn’t just a party—it’s a way to make a meaningful difference in the lives of Warren County residents.

“Every ticket, every sponsorship, and every bid helps us build and repair homes right here in our own community,” said Andrea Ross, Executive Director of Warren County Habitat for Humanity. “This event is a celebration of the work we do—and the community that makes it possible.”

Habitat for Humanity focuses on building strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. The Sneaker Ball is one of the organization’s most important fundraisers of the year, helping fund materials, labor, and support for families striving toward homeownership.
