The Charities Guild of Northern Kentucky (CGNK), “provides shoes to children in need as identified by teachers and resource officers at the beginning of the school year,” explains Sarah Cameron, Chair of CGNK. “A lot of the children we serve walk to school, so having good fitting and well-conditioned footwear is important for their health and safety, as well as their ability to focus on learning in the classroom.”
The Happy Feet Ball is the Guild's primary fundraiser for its Shoe Fund that has provided shoes to underprivileged children for over 25 years.

"The feedback we get from this program is overwhelming," says Marci Schroder, former Co-Chair of the Shoe Fund. "We are told that when children arrive at school with shoes in good condition, they are better able to focus on learning and have more confidence. With so many students walking to school in our area, it is hard to imagine the pain of ill-fitting shoes or shoes that are falling apart."
The Happy Feet Ball theme is the “Gatsby Gala” complete with a 1920s theme and live music from the nationally-renowned Tom Daugherty Orchestra. There will be a silent auction, live raffles, and games along with an open bar and heavy hors d’oeuvres from 8 pm to midnight. Tickets can be purchased online at charitiesguildnky.com.
