Thank you for your generosity and compassion!
Together, over 700 guests and sponsors helped raise $3 million at the 2024 Spirit of Saint Nicholas Ball on Friday, December 6!
Thank you to all who so generously supported Catholic Charities programming by being a part of this special evening. Every dollar raised at the Ball on Friday night will be used as direct aid to those we serve—immediate help for car repairs, diapers, and help with rent and utilities, and similar needs. Your impact will be felt throughout the year in the thousands of lives touched by Catholic Charities’ work.
