Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Texas is preparing to host its 21st annual Ice Ball, a premier event dedicated to celebrating the impact of mentorship on young lives in the region. Scheduled for August 23rd at the JW Marriott Austin, the event promises an evening of entertainment, gourmet dining, and a silent auction, all in support of the organization's mission to pair children with mentors.
The Ice Ball has become a cornerstone event for the community, showcasing the transformative power of mentorship. Cowboy Auctioneer, known for their engaging storytelling and fundraising prowess, will once again lead the evening's activities. Their involvement underscores the event's dual focus on celebration and philanthropy, aiming to reduce the waitlist of children awaiting mentors.
Emily Hardt, Vice President of Cowboy Auctioneer, emphasized the event's importance, stating, "Ice Ball is one of Austin's premier events and it's so encouraging to watch the community come together in support of a truly life-changing mission." Her words reflect the broader community's recognition of the role mentors play in shaping the future of Central Texas's youth.
This year's Ice Ball marks over two decades of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Texas's commitment to fostering meaningful mentor-mentee relationships. The event not only celebrates past successes but also seeks to galvanize support for future initiatives. With tickets and sponsorship opportunities available at www.bigmentoring.org, the organization invites the community to contribute to a cause that has far-reaching implications for the region's youth.
The significance of the Ice Ball extends beyond a single evening of fundraising. It represents a collective effort to address the critical need for mentorship in Central Texas, offering children the guidance and support necessary to unlock their potential. As the event approaches, the anticipation builds for what promises to be a memorable celebration of community, compassion, and commitment to the next generation.
