YWCA's Annual Sneaker Ball, Laced Up for Hope!

Join us for the YWCA Greater Memphis Sneaker Ball, where community comes together for a night of celebration and purpose.

Laced Up for Hope is an evening of inspiration, impact, and purpose where style meets service. Guests will trade traditional formal footwear for their favorite sneakers as we come together to raise awareness and critical resources for survivors of domestic violence. This annual fundraiser brings supporters, partners, and friends to advocate for the empowerment and equity of women, girls, and families across Memphis.

All proceeds benefit the YWCA Greater Memphis Domestic Violence Shelter, the largest all-inclusive shelter in Tennessee for victims of violence. Every step taken and every story shared helps create pathways to safety, healing, empowerment, and hope.

Wear your favorite sneakers and get ready to dance, connect, and make a direct impact on the vital programs we offer.

We’re bringing you a night of unforgettable performances from Melvia “Chick” Rodgers, Danny Cosby, J. Buck, and our house band, the Devereau Williams Band, all set to make this year’s Sneaker Ball: Laced Up for Hope celebration one for the books!
We thank you for your continued support, and this is just a reminder that we're all survivors of something with an even greater purpose ahead.

Together, we're stepping forward for change!
