Tickets now available for Masquerade Gala and VIP Reception

Tickets are now on sale for the Fort Thomas Education Foundation (FTEF) Masquerade Ball Gala on October 21, 2017 at the historic Cincinnati Music Hall. The event will be the first event hosted at Music Hall after its renovation, giving gala attendees an early chance to enjoy an exclusive evening in the elegant ballroom while supporting a great cause, the FTEF Endowment.

The Endowment fund will allow FTEF to sustain its commitment to provide the best for our schools for current and future generations to come.

“Thanks to the tremendous support of our community since our inception in 2001, the FTEF has been able to enhance the education of every single student currently enrolled in all five of our schools," said Amy Shaffer, FTEF Board Chair. "The Masquerade Ball will help us ensure that we can continue our support for current and future generations. We hope that all alumni, parents, grandparents and friends will join us for this special event in support of our children and our schools.”
