This annual event raises funds to support local 501(c)3 charitable organizations during a gala evening hosted by the Mayor. Eligible organizations apply each year and four groups are selected:
- Two from Health & Human Services applicants
- One from Arts applicants
- One from All Other applicants
Charities are randomly selected to benefit from the gala event’s proceeds.
Started in 1994 by a committee of dedicated volunteers led by Robert Penney and then Mayor Rick Mystrom, the Anchorage Mayor’s Charity Ball has raised to date over $3,500,000 to support community charitable organizations. 100% of all net proceeds from the ball are distributed to the four honored charities that year.
The Anchorage Mayor’s Charity Ball is led by a seven-member board of directors who oversee an extensive volunteer event committee which plans all aspects of the gala evenings activities. Traditionally, the activities include dinner, dancing, silent and live auctions, and miscellaneous other fun fund-raising efforts.
The event has sold out every year, attracts guests from all parts of the community, and is proud that its success through the years has transcended political lines, because it is about helping others and making a difference in Anchorage.
Thanks all!
Theresa
