All About Us

The Chattanooga Ball is held each summer to raise money, build volunteer opportunities and bring awareness to charities benefitting women and children in the Chattanooga area.  While the event is steeped in tradition, the mission of The Chattanooga Ball Association is focused on helping young women make a difference in the Chattanooga community, as well as instilling an appreciation for volunteerism in each of them that they will carry into adulthood. Kings and queens who have been honored at the ball have vivd memories of the event, agreeing that the ball remains one of the most exciting and memorable evenings of their lives. 

Our Community Support


Each year, Chattanooga Ball Belles and Ladies of the Court volunteered their time to benefit the Children’s Hospital at Erlanger. Belles
and Ladies of the Court, along with their fathers participated in the Chattanooga Ball’s joint event with Children’s Hospital. The father-daughter
evening took place at Children’s Hospital at Erlanger's Kennedy Outpatient Center, where the group assembled craft kits, ate dinner, toured the
new facility and the ladies were recognized for their fundraising efforts over the summer. The craft kits will be distributed to volunteers and
given to patients that are unable to leave their rooms to go to the playroom. The Chattanooga Ball Association is proud of its partnership
with this charitable program in our city
and looks forward to growing the volunteer program with these organizations in the future.
Proceeds from this year’s Ball will also go to support these charity. 

Beneficiaries

Organized during the Depression as a fundraiser to support the free ward at Children’s Hospital, the Chattanooga Ball is proud to continue the tradition of supporting Children’s Hospital at Erlanger, as well as many other charities benefitting women and children over the last 89 years.
