As we approach the final stretch of the 2024-2025 school year, there are plenty of exciting events and activities to look forward to. One such event is the highly anticipated Sneaker Ball!
What is the Sneaker Ball?
The Sneaker Ball is a semi-formal/formal event where sneakers are a must! It’s the perfect opportunity to dress up, stay comfortable, and show off your best pair of sneakers all at the same time! “The person who came up with the idea was actually our president [of the IMPACT club] Nilajah Crawford,” explained Janaya Guerilus, the club’s treasurer. “She felt like it was an opportunity to have a dance for all students, but mainly the black students on campus,” Guerilus added.
This event is a celebration of the black community and a chance for students to come together for a fun and memorable evening. The Sneaker Ball also serves as a kick-off for Black History Month. “They can wear their sneakers and their nicest outfits, especially after the holiday season if they got anything new,” Guerilus noted. Whether you’re rocking new kicks or sticking with your favorite pair, this event is all about style and self-expression.
What to Look Forward To
The Sneaker Ball isn’t just about dressing up. Attendees can enjoy music, dancing, good food, as well as a raffle. With plenty of activities and a lively atmosphere, it’s the perfect event for sneakerheads, fashion enthusiasts, or anyone looking to have a good time with friends.
