The event will take place Thursday, October 14, 2021 at Thurman Landing in Sonora. Sponsorships are available at different levels. Ticket sales open to the public on Monday, September 20.

Mission Hope For Kids is a local after school mentorship program that cares for disadvantaged students who need additional support. Their approach is holistic; they understand that to reach their full potential, children need physical, mental, emotional, educational, and spiritual care. In application, this means partnering students with caring adults, giving academic help, providing snacks and meals, offering recreational activities, opening our on-site clothing closet to students and their families, teaching moral and spiritual lessons, and so much more.

Ticket cost includes cost of admission covering dinner, decor, and entertainment plus a $100 donation to Mission Hope for Kids. This means every ticket purchased, or essentially every guest in attendance, is giving $100 to Mission Hope for Kids.

We are currently looking for business and individual sponsorships as well as auction sponsors. If you’re interested in sponsoring The Fall Ball with or without event tickets, you can give us a call at or shoot a text over to Giselle Smith 254-317-8688. You can also email info@elizabethtownlifestyle.com or reach out to us on Instagram at @elizabethtownlifestyle. All sponsors have the option of sponsoring the event with and without tickets (in the event they cannot attend at this time).

Due to the charitable nature of this event, tickets are non-refundable. In the event that the event is cancelled due to government regulations, money from ticket sales will be donated to Mission Hope for Kids.
